Caught up with Mizuho on Saturday and she took us to a buffet style lunch in a huge shopping complex. It was $20 all you could eat, Japanese food. Excellent value, especially as Mizuho’s parents gave her money to shout us the meal for looking after her while in Australia. She then took us shopping in Osaka. Best way to describe it was wall to wall people and shops ; but really interesting. Mami loved it and bought some really cheap clothes that fit her better than those in Australia. She is very happy. I went in the music shops and was stunned by the cheap prices on keyboards, pianos and guitars. Janet and Enid you would have to it to believe the range of instruments and the low prices. I’d love to bring a keyboard back with me, but it might be a bit difficult.
Changed hotels today, so that we can be near the bus terminal, ready for a flying start after breakfast. We will make the 5 ½ hour bus trip From Osaka to Hiroshima where Mami’s parents will pick us up and drive us home to Shunan. Why not travel by Shinkansen (bullet train) I hear you ask. The reason is the bus trip will cost us $30 each whereas the Shinkansen would be about $150 per person. It would quarter the travelling time but we need to watch the budget said my tight a… wife.
Thanks, Rob. Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing my family tomorrow.
