Osaka is a bit like I'd imagined Tokyo would be. It's a tangle of flyovers, buildings, subterranean malls, neon, arcades and the occasional castle. You can quite easily spend a whole day lost underground. Anyway, we tried shopping but we're pretty rubbish at it and failed to get anything despite walking down a couple of the longest shopping arcades in Japan ( each around 2.5km of covered shops all in a row ). We briefly looked at the castle ( yawn ) and we went to the waterfront where we got very scared on what they almost dare to claim is the world's largest big wheel which did provide a very good view.
