We're in Japan for just two weeks and these are early days and we’re loving it. But we've had some torrid times and the result is my laptop is dead. So expect some shorter and less formulated posts. The first days were in Osaka which seems to have a forgotten cousin air about it next to Tokyo and Kyoto but we loved it. We stayed in a cool hotel in Namba, perhaps the nightlife capital of Osaka. All driverless streets, covered walkways, plenty of food and indulgences and inevitable brothels and mega casino machine rooms and more. There was the uber-touristy canal boat ride and the visit to the majorly impressive Osaka castle with moats and rocks and walls to make the lights of the London tower cower. We were also off to Nara for a day for temples and gardens and deer. Again touristy but impressive. And a first jazz outing in Japan that ended an amusing failure. But more on that tomorrow.
Megan and Eric visited Osaka and Nara.
