Osaka with S&C

We have some more visitors!! Our friends Shelly and Chad are here until the 11th of August, which means they'll be coming to China with us! We've been keeping nice and busy. We've mostly been cruising around Hirakata and Osaka with them. One of their main objectives in traveling is eating the best food, and that we have been. 

We had an amazing, very Japanese lunch on Saturday afternoon in Umeda. 

This was the best tofu I have ever had, eaten with a spoon!

We took them on the Ferris wheel at Hep 5 in Umeda. Here is a view from the top. This city is outrageous.

Beautiful husband with Shelly and Chad in Shinsaibashi, the main shopping area of Osaka. This place is lined with the craziest stores and the hippest people you've ever seen.

And finally we get a picture of the two of us!!

Just another beautiful store.

An entire store devoted to Kit-Kats. They come in every flavor you can imagine. So far my fav. is Green Tea.

And this, my friends, is Namba Hips. The most beautiful building ever. And yes, that would be a pink climbing wall down the center that moves up and down and the pink part changes colors. I'm telling you, this city is out of control, and I love it.

The sign for Namba Hips. We've seen a few like this around town, covered in plants and thought they were amazing.
