Reminiscing Japan (Osaka)

Paused for a little while, both the mom and the girl fell sick. >.< 

Had been quite a rough period for us. Thank god all is well now:) And here I am, back to blog! ^^

I hope you all missed me! Hehe.

And SO! The last destination of our holiday - OSAKA!!

It was already late noon by the time we reached Osaka.

Stayed at Intercontinental Osaka, best stay so far! 

Most of the hotel in Japan ain't really that spacious, but Intercontinental Osaka is too good to be true! ^^V

Booked the hotel via Agoda; and gotten quite good deal! I think it's costs us less than $400 per day?! I mean, I think this is reasonable for a 5 star hotel?

My fav activity in the hotel; soaking in the bath tub while watching tv  and having the oh-its-so-sweet melon and pineberries (strawberry that taste like pineapple)!



Heh, they have Yukata prepared  for us in the room, and I conveniently took it and wear as my PJ! Hoho.

Superb; found this at one of the small small shop in Osaka station while walking around.


Went Shinsaibaishi/Dontorbori the very next day.
It  is a MUST go in Osaka. My fav Ichiran is located there too!!

IT IS A MUST EAT, too!

I eat it ONCE per day when I was there. lol. 
 
Love their vending machine too! Lots of choices for you to choose! And they normally have it in  a stretch.
Ranging from soda, to mineral water, to ciggy!

Then, we went to Universal Studio Japan the following day:)

Remember to get your tickets at Lawson before heading down, best to book it one day in advance to avoid disappointment! You wouldnt wanna queue when you are there I suppose? You can get your hotel concierge staff to help you as well:) 


We bought the express booklet as well, But you can only get it when you are inside USJ.

I would recommend you to get it as you can literally "cut" the queue and go straight for the rides. Else, you need to wait probably about half an hour to 40mins? I mean, if you are there for a holiday, why would you want to waste your time queuing if you were to have other alternatives? Right? :x



The crowd, NO joke man. LOL





Cute.

 But too bad, didn't manage to get any home. Its too troublesome to carry the whole box of cup noodle around:(

AND! HAHAH. I secretly took this picture!

The 2 spideys were actually queuing to take picture with the "real spider-man"! LOL. 

When I first saw them, I swear I was wondering in my mind, "Huh? Why are they queuing, Shouldn't people be queuing to take pictures with them instead???" 

HAHAHHAHA













One full day at the USJ! Tiring yet fun:)

Visited the Osaka Aquarium next!
Different feel, different things to see from the one we had in SG.




And it was my first time seeing Penguins!!! I was so excited, just like a little girl!!


They were too adorable! Buay Tahan!!

5D4N in Osaka ended fast. I enjoyed myself to the fullest with the best companion, best food, best service and best accomodation.

It was time to go home:( 

It was a red eye flight for us, hence, we took a shower in the airport with their mobile shower room. Haha, so different from those we had in Changi Airport. 

This time round, I would say, the ones we have in SG, is way better than this! :X Heh!
