Takamatsu
From the tallest building we found.So the reason you haven't heard from me in a bit is largely due to underestimated travel times. You see, originally me and this guy I met at the hostel who I've become friends with were going to go to see this world famous art gallery and some shrines and stuff on Naoshima island, near Shikoku... But when the train ride ended up taking most of the day and we couldn't get a ferry to Naoshima and we were stranded in Takamatsu. We found a cheap hotel and wandered around the city a bit.
The next day we ended up getting to see it but then, on our way back, it was too late again--though we did get a bit of the way back to Tokyo--the train shut down, leaving us stranded around Shin-Osaka station. So, last night we were on the outskirts of Osaka, we found a bar with some hilarious people... We talked about where we were from (The guy hanging out with me is from Kansas), music, sports (They realllly like baseball here) with a couple of regulars at the bar, and the bartenders. The male bartender was a pianist and the female one actually had an
The Sea
We looked at it, you see. amazing singing voice (It was a live music bar but there was no band that night, so they played a bit for us.) Then we walked back to the train station when it opened up again. 'Twas fun.
Anyways, the point I was making is that I haven't been at the hostel for three days.
