昨日、大阪の新世界と道頓堀で食べたり遊んだりして、京都に行って、ホステルを見つけた！ホステルは外国人いっぱいいるんだけどみんなは優しそう。

大阪の有名な焼きたてチーズケーキを朝ご飯で食べた。そして友達は親戚の家に行って、私は一人で金閣寺を見に行った。金閣寺はすごい混んでた。でもめちゃキレイ〜

今竜安寺にいる。世界遺産！

Kyoto

Yesterday, we ate and played in Osaka's Shinsekai and Dotombori, then went to Kyoto and found our youth hostel. The hostel is full of foreigners, but everyone seems nice.

We ate Yakitate Cheesecake that Osaka is famous for for breakfast. Then my friend went to her relative's house, so I went to go see Kinkakuji by myself. Kinkakuji was really crowded, but suuuper pretty~

Now I'm at Ryoanji. World Heritage Site!

This is the famous Zen rock garden at Ryoanji (temple).

大阪に着いた！

We arrived in Osaka this morning around 5am!　We were originally going to start in Kyoto and make a day trip out to Osaka, but since our bus stopped at both for the same price we figured we'd spend the first day in Osaka and get to Kyoto in the evening to check in to the youth hostel.

We started out by going to Shinsekai where they have a lot of really good food on these really busy streets. We ate some really good kotsukatsu and takoyaki!　Then we made our way over to Namba to see another street. I forgot the name, but I'll figure it out and post again. I'm in this really strange internet cafe right now. Ayae is looking up the phone number to the hostel so we can tell them we'll be checking in a bit late. It's half a manga cafe and half an internet cafe, but entirely creepy. Our half hour is almost up. We'll see how the rest of this trip goes... =D
