| Day Three: Osaka | |

 My clothes smell like smoke, but I wear them since the mornings are so cold. Matt and I sleep in a little today, but finally head out in what is the first sunny day here - no need for my coat. We have breakfast coffee and pasty at Hansel, supposedly in Nishinomyia since 1917. Most of the customers seem to have been coming since then. On to the station, where we have more coffee (canned, from a vending machine) and talk to Ernesto, who calls Matt. Then suddenly we are back in Nippon Bashi (or as Matt tells me, Den Den Town), where I finally join the MD revolution and purchase the player I couldn't convince myself of yesterday. Back to the train, where we locker our things and ride to the coast to visit Osaka Aquarium. Next door to the aquarium is the world's largest Ferris Wheel, which is slow and enclosed and fantastic - excellent views of the Port of Osaka. We get so many laughs today from students and young kids - even parents point out us gaijin (foreigners) for their kids to see. Older students in their uniforms giggle when we make eye contact.
