The host parents
Host father is a little too happy!

The new look!
It was free, which was my main concern! What a difference!

Shinimamiya
The craziness that is Shinimamiya - Pachinko, Kushikatsu, homeless people and bright lights!

Tsutenkaku
Another shot of the tower

Lisa
She passed the baton over to me once she left for Sydney, cant say i actually like them, but here are Succhi and Lisa!

Oldies are goooooooone
This couple passed out after a BBQ lunch, after starting drinking at 10.30! They love their 昼寝　or arvo nap!

The usual hikers
I went to this 'do' cos there was a lack of walking, and the focus was on drinkign and eating! Even got to try Kobe beef!

Gooooooone!
The mix of whisky, beer and sake catches up to my host dad!

Another rest with the oldies!
In the barbecue site on Mt rokko (六甲山）

Tsuten Tower (通天閣）
In the outskirts of Osaka at a place called Shinimamiya, the not so privileged area of the city! It was interesting to see the differences with the main part of the city! The Redfern of Osaka!
