Ohhh, Osaka. What a beautiful place to dig out every yen you have, to purchase that brown furry (or fuzzy?) coat that you've been longing for after your first paycheck, all of course, glistening in the window display luring your wallet in.
Osaka is indeed a shopping haven, with a shopping street/arcade that runs from Namba to Shinsaibashi! You probably don't know, but I'm telling you it is LONG! It's got everything: Uni qlo, g.u., ZARA, H&M (the store I just adore!), many many nice and funky shoe stores, several independent clothes stores (some great for bargain buys) as well as department stores, pharmacies, restaurants, fast food, patisseries...the list goes on. I can assure you that you'd be tired after walking top to end of this busy shopping street.
Now, not only is shopping BIG is Osaka, they've got big things like the Glico man, big Pocky (yes those sticks you love to snack on in class...now I'd like to see you try to sneak one of these giant sticks into class) and other big snacks like a big rice cracker!
We did some lunching at an afforable restaurant chain called Gusto. Great price, great place. It's one of those restaurant chains which sell a variety of meals, like pasta, rice in soups, hamburg (which are really fat beef patties), salads, and parfaits! We had the corn mayo pizza and the kinako (mushroom) rice in soup type-of-thing. Very satisfying!
Shuu-cream was a great finish to my nights in Osaka. There's the softer pastry and the crunchy crispy pastry and I personally like the crunchy one though the soft one isn't bad either. I can't promise you which one you'll get because the texture varies with stores, but nonetheless all shuu-creams are yummy!
