Japan Day 3: Osaka

Ohiyo Gozaimasu! This was the coldest morning in Japan...2°C

in our dorm before we head up.. fully dressed with long johns...

we utilised our 2 days Osaka Unlimitted Pass that costs us 2,700 yen each and did a de-tour to somewhere special..

we took the Hankyu Takarazuka Line and travelled to Ikeda Station

to The Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum!!! where all Nissin noodle history started

these are our self-designed noodle cup! L-R: Shoni, Pingu, Lee, Yennee

by now we should know each and everone's drawing skills!! hahahhhaa

queuing up to fill up the cups with noodles!!

the garnishing to our noodles! we get so select 4 types each cup! how awesome is that!!

picking up the sealed cup noodle for the next step...

Packing! we need to pump pump pump till that bag is filled with air.. like an airbag to hold and protect the cup!

After the museum, it was raining... we we travelled back to the town.. and went to HEP Five for a decent lunch and took a ride on a big red ferris wheel

they had an iphone dock there...so me and pingu had a romantic ride! :)

after that, it was already evening also most attraction has already closed, or will be closed...

the only available one is.....

another ferris wheel!! hahahhahaaa Tempozan Ferris Wheel!

apparently, the wheel has colored lights that provide a weather forecast for the next day. Orange lights indicate a sunny day, green lights a cloudy day and blue lights indicate rain.

So for us, the next day is a cloudy day! and yeah... it was a cloudy day the next day! so accurate oh! and this info my friend, is what i know only when i am typing this! hahahhahaha

pooh is my ♥

when it was our turn to enter the gondola, i saw pooh in the next one! i was super excited and asked to be in the next gondola and the kind conductor allowed me!! i was super happy and so i hugged pooh the whole journey on the wheel and Pingu was a bit jealous! hahahaha

SO HE SLEPT!

We went to Minami (namba) Area for dinner, specifically, to Dotonbori in Shinsaibashi. It is Osaka's Food street and there are lots and lots of food there.. and we chose to eat at at sushi restaurant because it is cheap and there is a big hand holding sushi on top of the shop! (just because)

After dinner, while yennee and lee headed back to the hotel, Pingu and i went to Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade for him to play in the arcade. It has always been his dream to play in the arcades in Japan after he discovered the joy of Hong Kong arcades. However, his feedback was that Japan players are not into the games that he played. HK is still better in terms of arcade.

so that's the end of our day 3.
