day 1: went to osaka castle. the sakura is nice, beautiful. its like a street full of sakura.. the castle is grand, they have this capsule which stores what the people used now, and then the capsule can only be open in like 100 yrs n 500 yrs. thus, the future generation know what we used in the past. and the great thing about this capsule is that even bomb can't destroy it. after the osaka castle, we head straight to shinsabashi, the shopping st in Osaka.. ate ramen as my late breakfast. I forgot that sin and japan has an one hr difference, so of cos met my tour members late, as i'm still searching for majolica mascara for my sis n friends. next up is universal studio.. yayy.. there is hard rock beside it. and we live next to universal studio. i can see the roller coaster from my room view.
