日本行之Osaka篇

9.30pm on 27th Apr, reached Changi Airport for 11.55pm flight

Though i was really tired, i couldn't really sleep on the overnight flight.
Could be because of the limited space or the constant food servings or just the noise emitted by the craft engine.
Anyway after 6hrs+ of torment, finally touched down at Osaka Kansai Airport.
Tour guide (Billy) gave us some time to freshen up at the airport restroom in preparation for the long day ahead.

Once stepped out of the airport, the cooooolllllldd weather outside hit us all.
It's so cold that we are "blowing out smoke" of our mouth!
Weather that day was below 10deg.

First stop of the entire tour:
Universal Studio (U.S.)

Was told by Billy that U.S. has been losing money as compared to their keen competitor, Disneyland which is making profits.
But i wonder, given the crowd on a weekday, why is U.S. making a lose?
Almost every single ride needs at least 1hr of queuing time.
Entry tix cost ¥5800 liao.
F&B & souvenirs are not cheap either.
I guess maybe their expenses are so high that it's revenue is not enough to cover.

After about 5hrs in U.S., we proceeded to Osaka Castle

Notice that tree over at the top right hand side, it's a 1000yrs old ginko tree!
Basically this place is just for photo taking. The shops sell some souvenirs & food. This is where i gotten the takopachi hp chain for my cousin, which i didn't see it again anywhere else for rest of my trip.

The beauty of lomo cams:

Next stop is the most famous shopping area in Osaka - Shin Sai Ba Shi

The whole street is packed with lotsa & lotsa peps.
Only gotten a cap from "Uniqlo" - the equivalent of our Giordano here.
Cause when even a sale item is selling at minimum ¥3900, can u imagine the non-sale items pricing is roughly how much liao?

fyi, ¥1000 = S$14
