What our hotel rooms looked like. Bunk beds? It reminded me of a middle schooler's bedroom.
The bathroom was pretty nifty. You simply turn the faucet to either use the sink or fill the tub (there was a shower too, of course).
Hehehe...I'm so mean.
Bags of Agility + 3, anyone?
SC Represent!
One-Thousand Years of Pain!!! (Poking people like that in their assholes is apparently a common silly act by kids, though I forget the term).
Interesting light fixture
Someplace in Osaka
This is Takoyaki, Osaka's famous food. They have a plethora of merchandise around these things, including a lot of brand tie-ins (like Winnie the Pooh dressed in a takogaki outfit). The flakes on top are called katsu wo bushi. They're essentially fish-flakes (at least that's what they taste like). I loathe them with a passion, and unfortunately I didn't realize that they came standard with the takoyaki, so when I ordered mine...bleh. I ate one and gave the rest away to my friends. But just what exactly IS takoyaki...?
Tako is octopus. If it wasn't for the katsu wo bushi, it wouldn't have been half-bad.
Shortly after eating takoyaki, two Japanese guys approached us, asking if one of us would sumo-wrestle them. Todd, who had done wrestling in high school, declined, so I went ahead and accepted. We walked over to the little town square and sumo wrestled while one of their friends recorded. Perhaps it was for the newest episode in the series Baka Gaijin?
I didn't really know what to do, and I couldn't be too rough since the ground was cement, so I just sorta grappled them and put them on the ground.
Nope, sorry, you can't move me :P
Next victim! Note the people in the back watching...musta been really random for them (or is wrestling gaijin commonplace in Japan? Who knows).
RAWRRRR! LORD XANDAR SMASH!!!
You...Win! /StreetFighterVoice "Xander, now that you've won the championship title, what are you going to do now?"...
..."Well Greg, I top off each of my matches with a nice, cool Ice Dog!"
Yes, an Ice Dog. Half ice cream, half warm hotdog bun, all goodness. Most random food I've eaten here yet.
