Girls' Weekend in Osaka

This was a FUN girls' weekend.  I experienced my first ride on the Shinkonsen (sp), it's a Japanese bullet train.  The price is the equivalent of a plane ticket in the states.  Anywho - we explored the area and even headed down to Kobe, where the famous beef comes from.  A great trip!  I'd like to go back and find more clubs and go to Universal Studios.  I'm not sure what everything is, as I've grown more comfortable with Japan, I don't keep up with my surroundings as much.  Yes - I'm lazy, don't judge me! You don't know my life!

Hello there!

Lauren was determined to be in the photos!

Believe it or not I'm a smudge smaller.   My boobs take away from it all.

Yes sir! You can get Kokeshi dolls with your beer!

A Chinatown maybe?

Best. Lunch. Ever.

We happened upon this woman riding a dolphin.  Yes - she's naked.  There was no explanation to go with her.  Just nakedness and a dolphin.

Jumping for joy in front of a Tori gate.

Mt. Fuji Sunset

At the top of Landmark Tower, there is a 360 degree view of Mt. Fuji, the Yokohama Bay and the likes. We made it up just in time to see the sunset!  The mountain next to the sun is Mt. Fuji.  I have to say my camera did a pretty good  job!

I took these pictures in the Sky Garden, the highest observatory in Japan.  To get to this place you take the fastest elevator in Japan - it's so fast your ears pop. 40 seconds from the 2nd floor to the 69th.

Here's a link to the tower's website.
