its small little lights combined to make such a beautiful design.

it always cheaper to cook than eat out.

cheap.. a can of coke is 100 yen. a can of cheap beer? 130yen?

merry christmas to all!

hahaha, photo only

namba is osaka's shopping and entertainment district, kinda like kl's bukit bintang. was bit bored of the usual city,buildings, so i walked around the little roads more this time.

1.namba



2.some famous museum



3.osaka is famous for it's takoyaki, octopus balls. at alot of stalls u have ppl queuing up to try it. this was the store i bought from. different from my usual store but still tasted good.



4.couple enjoying their takoyaki



5.stand up ramen stall



6.pappa roti! this was hidden along one of the little streets. its my first time seeing a shop sell this here in japan



7.sex machine. before you get dirty thoughts, it's not a sex shop but an eatery, yakiniku(bbq meat). nothing sexy at all



8.the banner people, ppl who advertise stuff with banners. they're alot of that around here. this one was for a karaoke outlet.

9.fallen ill



10.visiting the temple.



11.old buildings

ake-ome!

just came bck from yodobashi, hehe, bought myself a new compact

yeps, hehehe, good deal

oh 29 march, i shud be in tokyo by then. mondai nai to omou.

i shud bring sth along, maybe batik cake or sth.

sake sake!!

i heard its like rm10++ for the burger?? takai na.... almost same price as macs here.

was in tokyo this weekend, looking for apartments! the only thing i bought, krispy kreme

its because almost every 20 yr old got drunk last night and wont go to school/work today if it wasnt a public holiday

no meals for domestic flights in japan.

lols, if ure scared bt bills, be scared about your rent first. your bills arent exp at all. your first step is to get an apartment, which might mean paying a full 4 months of your rent first.

electric,gas,water,internet,phone,health insurance(国民保険) shud not be more than 15,000yen a month. unless u call alot and stuff.

if i did what u said, my bills wud be non existent. just be prudent. use your heater at nights only, set timer even. i have frens who even live without one comfortably(use a better futon, electic carpets are cheaper than heaters,etc...). cook!propane gas is more exp than electricity, so maybe an IH cooker is better if your apartment uses propane. dont leave your rice cooker,hot pot n so on on all the time. switch off lights when not in use. its basically just adapting. remember, life here is different from malaysia. what might be normal in malaysia, i.e blasting your a/c at 16 degrees 10 hours a day is not here. people save electricity by limiting their a/c to 24 degrees or sth.

does you scholarship cover rent? if not, it might not be cheap for u to live alone.

slightly cold i guess. food, depends on where u go, some shops have english menus, most then. look a pics and match the kanji!
