My trip to Osaka

I went to Osaka last week. It was a great time. I spent my first day with Mr. Seserak and have a good chat about almost everything.Well, It was 2 years since our last meet in person.

The second day I went to visit Horyu-ji at Nara with my host family. Horyu-ji is the first Japanese National Treasure to be registered as the World Heritage Site.This was also my second time visiting to Nara. Unfortunately I forgot to take digital camera with me so my host family toke the prictures for me with her non-digital camera and I end up with no picture to post here (;_;) .

To be frank I don't like the idea of taking my own picture too much because I am so ugly and I don't know what is the use to take my own picture for.

The third day I went to see Superman Return with my host family. After the movie we had Gyoza for our lunch at a place called Gyoza Stadiom which has all kinds of Gyoza.

The evening of the third day we had a little party at one of my friend's house. 14 people came to the party including Cambodian and Japanese. At the party I had the chance to meet my juniors who live in Osaka. We drank and talked alot.
After midnight people started to divide into small groups. There was sleeping group, card playing group, Karaoke singing group(I was in this group :) ) and computer group. Despite we splitted into small groups we didn't forget to drink our beer hahaha.
Some go back home at 6 am in the morning and some go to bed at 6 am at that same morning.

The rest of my staying in Osaka, I spent my time talking with friends, talking with my host family and work around Osaka city.

When I first came to Japan I lived in Osaka for one year studying Japanese language. This trip can be called a good-bye trip to my first memory of Osaka as welll as my first impression of Japan because I will go back to Cambodia next year...

I love to have a girl friend to take us out when we are there because this is our first time in Osaka. I've been to other parts in Japan before but that was on tour. Sorry we prefer to have girls or ladies to take us out because we are all girls and it be much fun this way!

Pls pls be our tour guide, I am sure we will have fun.
