I Live For Vending Machines

If you would give me 1 dollar for every vending machine I see in Japan, I would be a millionaire right now. There is literally a vending machine e-ve-ry-whe-re!! Around every corner, alley, street, building, shrine!, subway are vending machines.
You may ask why there's so many. I guess the Japanese know the danger of dehydration. They need to take in H2O or some sort to refill their energy through the day. Cause believe me, without these life-saving-machines, everyone would be fainting from the heat, stress, over-polite-japanese salesmen/women and what not. These vending machines are your best friend in Japan.

Also Japanese people likes brands, there's so many choices of beverages,softdrinks,juices to choose from. I don't think I can try them all by the end of my trip.


Drinks are 120 Yen to 150 Yen for larger ones.


Everyone's favourite phone in Japan. The Flip-Over 3G Multi-purpose phone!
Waiting in the subway? Flip open your phone! Need to tell your best friend the new shoes you bought? Flip open your phone! Checking your mail? Flip open your phone! Bored? Flip open your phone!!
I really really love them, I do. But I'm not buying one though...or maybe...just maybe...
(Well not everyone got these do, I've seen some with 'normal' ones. Slide-Up phones, normal 1piece phone. But those are rare. I've seen 1 person with a Touchphone (smartphone like those everyone uses in Europe). But she was most probably NOT Japanese...

Wednesday 5 August: Osaka (Namba,ShinSaiBashi, ShinSaiBashiSuji) (Umeda)

100 Yen shop, but it's actually 105 Yen plus the taxes.

We went to eat a RamenShop! Those with just 8 seats. Lined up at the table/bar-style.

You need to choose what you want to eat from a machine, then insert the money and you'll receive a card which you then give to the Ramen-maker =).

There were 2 kids next to us. And they reminded us of how to eat up your ramen properly. Which is eat/drink up everything! All the soup included!

So after this was ShinSaiBashi and Dotombori.
Look at all those bicycles, just like Amsterdam. ;)

Just pick a guy you like. Anyone will do. Cause they've got a very nice personality...

(eerh...right....)

No they do...they really do

(How do you know that, just by looking at them?)

Well...just look at them, they seem so nice and cool. And their hair...it's sooo fasionable.

(I don't think you should judge someone just on their looks and hair....)

Hmm...you've got a point. I guess you're right.

=P

(It's random...=P)

Anyway: Japanese HairStyle!! (Or East-Asian for that matter...)

Let's go on to something that's really cute! Kapibara-San!

Even more Kapibara-Sans, now in smaller cuter versions!

A giant Pocky =)

Ruido (I don't know what this place is, but this one is for the YUI fans. Inside joke)

Look, Detective Conan and his friends are running to you~~~ =)

Guitar shop, but it was closed.

Just like the Shoe-store, with Nikes and SPX shoes.

Dotombori, Osaka's food-district.

We could have eaten this, but we didn't. It looks delicious though!

Instead we went for the Osaka-Famous-Food: Okonomiyaki!

This specific restaurant had a very unique way of ordering. You got to use an electic pen to scan/touch the menuplate to order it.

I forgot to put the mayonaise!! stupid.

After we eat (They messed up our orders sort of at the restaurant, so it turned out a bit late) we went home. On our back way home I noticed this peculiar thing.

Turns out, there are metros parts for women only.

Peace!!
