Day 64 : Good Book



This is a really good book I have been reading, its about the experiences of a western worker who worked at Mitsubishi, he was the only western employee at the time that lived in Japan. Its a great insight into the conservative world of Corporate Japan.

Day 62 : Comic Culture



Mural on a office building in Shinsaibashi. The love of comics here in Japan is more than anywhere else in the world, at any time of the day you can go to a convience store and see a lines of people reading comics in teh magazine section. This one caught my eye as its not drawn in the Japanese style, but rather classical American comic style.

Day 61 : Don Quixote



This is one of my favourite stores in Osaka, its 24 hours, and anythign you can imagine is avaialable, we need a wii controler at 2 am a while back and then we just hit up Don Quixote and we got it. Its in the middle of the entertainment district so its a bit expensive as I think its geared towards patrons who buy presents for all the Hostesses that work in this area in the Hostess Bars

Day 60 : Roller Coaster



This is a abandoned amusement park that was built around buildings and the roller coaster went through the buildings, this was a huge facility, however due to lack of public support and customers it has been shut down, however Spa World, a huge monstrous indoor swimming and water park is still open. Its open 24 hours just like everything else in Japan. The place has a very atlantean feel to it as its got this huge abandoned facility and then a monstrous water park there as well.
