Day 108: (29 August 2011):
- With Ben back to work, slept in a good amount.
- More e-mails for Fuji & SF housing. Directions for Mode-off.
- Bright & hot outside.
- Go to udon place with coworkers. Have cheesu katsu curry udon. Delicious. As Ben said, significantly better than cheap generic curry udon (also tatsy).
- get some final shopping instructions from Ben. Today is Fuji shopping day.
- Go to shinsaibashi / Namba. The bld. with Mode-off closed! Walk around a bit.
- Visit near stores by Dotomburi as there were sporting stores, but then decided wasn’t too interested in the stuff.
- Forgot where I was trying to walk to that day, maybe Ben’s place/Namba(I think) but get somewhat lost.
- Walk & notice maids standing around, and see a maid café. Anime shops. A bit creepy.
- Go one street over: Den-den town. All makes sense now!
- Quick tour of Den-den town.
- Triedly walk to Nmba. (Bld bigger than I expected, approaching from different direction).
- Walk back to Ben’s. More organizational work.
- When Ben comes home, look for food. Choice boiled down to a Korean-ish izakaya & motsunabe place.
- Motsunabe / tepan place. Shoe lockers. Residential bld?
- Sit on floor & eventually, just us in restaurant.
- Nabe. Tepan thing, same as nabe, but in square pan...?
- Chat a bit. I extend stay a bit more than planned.
- Decide go to Kyoto tomorrow, since not leaving Osaka yet.
- Find is very expenlise to Isehara: Shinkansen, no good local way of doing it other than bus to Tokyo.
- Msg. from Frederik. Typhoon. Decide cancel, as Ben & co. say even light rain will make climb bad. Should not attempt. Releived in a way.
