Day 64 (Osaka) : Back to the Future

This is the post that was started and forgotten about Sunday night when I got home. I met up with Rob to check out the park around Osaka Castle park. I was a little disappointed after the hype that he gave me because it's not nearly as awesome as Yoyogi park. It probably has about the same number of people, but it's ten times bigger so it looks empty almost everywhere you go. That and there was some kind of drummer/bell ringer convention going on. Every few steps you took were another three guys banging on some mini-gongs and metal rings.

After walking our asses off for an hour or so we headed back into town to look for a joint that I really can't recall right now. Maybe Toriyakizu or something like that. The big theme is that every thing on the menu is 280 yen, which is just about three dollars. The interesting catch is that the normal beer is the same as the BAM. (Big ass mug.) It sounded cheap in theory but we ran up a $40 bill in less than two hours and it's not like we were going at it hard. We just ate a lot of tastey treats.

I ended up drinking a little more after that which kept me out way later than I should have been. The repercussions are definitely going to be felt at school tomorrow.
