Universal Studios Japan

---

Today I went to USJ (Universal Studios Japan ) in Osaka with some friends from Kansai Gaidai and my host brother Tomoki. Now I have been to the Universal in Florida probably nearing 30 times now but the one in Japan was still a blast! The park is great, it is really similar to the US with rides like Spiderman, Jurassic Park, Back to the future and Jaws but it also has a Backdraft ride which was pretty awesome and a Waterworld show, now I know some of you are saying the movie was horrible, and it was but the show was really Impressive. There where boats flying everywhere things exploding and they even launched a plane a few hundred feet through the air. It was also a great day because Universal inside the park and outside at city walk offers up a good amount of American food and a good portion of meat so that was a welcomed change in the diet, as much as I have come to really enjoy all types of Japanese food they still havnt beaten a good hamburger or bar-b-que chicken and ribs. The day was a lot of fun, the weather was a bit cold and rainy but the company was good and Universal is always a good time.
