Japan- Osaka (Day 2)

Leaving our hotel at 7.15 a.m. right after a World Cup game, we managed to arrive at a Wholesale Fish Market. The directions we followed on the iPhone were more confusing then we first intended them to be; leading us on a maze journey through many fishy places :) (pun intended) After a half hour of this maze we finally found the Endo Sushi place! Here are some delicious pictures! 



Endo Sushi





So happy!





Delicately placing soy sauce


Yum!



After our 8:30 sushi breakfast we were off to start the rest of the day! We ventured to the bay where we arrived at the Osaka Aquarium.  We went thorough the amazing aquarium  then were able to go on one of the biggest Ferris Wheels in the World!

Look at that baby!


The outside of the Aquarium.











I mean look at that face!


King Crab... dinner?


That head though...


Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake)






This amazing taxi driver hardly spoke English, but managed to tell us about places to go, gave me origami his wife made, and his card so we could become Facebook friends!



Another cool store front.

Japan- Osaka (Day 1)

We were able to go to Japan for a week while most of our students were on their trip to New York. The flight to Japan was super cheap, and we thought why not! We were able to go to Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto. We took many pictures, so I'll post day by day some pictures from that day. This is the first day we got there. We flew into Osaka and stayed there for the first two days. Here are the pictures from the first day.


Super nice fast train from the airport.
