Japan Trip: Day 2

So on my first day in Japan, I was flying solo. With little...ok no knowledge of Japanese language I paid a visit to Osaka castle and did some other siteseeing on my own.


This was the name of a coffee shop near the hotel I stayed at in Osaka. I thought it was kind of an odd title.


This is the enterance to the Osaka Castle compound. Look how not ornate it is...


This was a bus I saw at Osaka Castle. Yup good ol' Swallow Queen II. You know, Swallow Queen. That's not a lewd name for a bus now is it?


Osaka Castle was surrounded by a moat. Here is a view of the castle from the bridge that crossed the moat.


This is a picture of Osaka Castle. I don't know a lot of facts about this castle. I do know that I got lost walking there, and that I took a picture for some Korean people who were suprised when I spoke to them in Korean.
이 사진은 오사카 성곽입니다. 이성관에 대해 잘 몰라서 길을 잃었어요. 거기에 있는 한국사람들에게 사진을 찍어 달라고 했더니 그들은 많이 놀랐어요. 왜냐하면 제가 한국말을 했기때문이죠.


Behold! The Power of the Load!!!
I took this picture at Osaka Castle in Osaka, Japan.


This was something I hadn't seen in Korea before, wildlife. Here's a group of ducks chilling out in the moat around Osaka Castle.


A beer can I witnessed during my trip to Japan. Apparently these beers are only to be used during good times...no drinkin' these babies in an effort to rid yourself of troubles.
