Today I got the metro into osaka town center, I found a great place in a covered market for tempura and had a great lunch.
Then I walked down towards the main comericial and shopping street, or at least I thought I did, I walked for around an hour until I stopped for coffee and found some wifi that let me get a map and find that I had walked in completely the wrong direction! I did find a nice temple, and then I walked back, and walked the right way! I found the street, which was filled with giant robotoic animals including a giant moiving crab! very cool!
I also found the visa office for China, it has a osaka office, and managed to get their in time to put my passport in, I chose the next day service for an extra 20gbp, I thought it was worth it! The service couldn't be more different from hong kong or in England, they were so polite, helpful, understanding, and even though I was in before the closing time I was too late when I got to the window, but they kept it open until everyone was finished, just not letting any more people in, such a good service!
I then found an English bar, where I stopped for a beer in celebration, some fish and chips, and then an aspall cider, and upstairs I found a cool jazz bar where I had a beer and a snack and listened to some live jazz.
Coming out of the jazz bar in time for the last train back I was pretty tired, but not too tired to take a couple of pictures along the way of the beautiful lights.
