Health and Sports Day Traveling: Osaka
Osaka is one of the less traditional areas of Japan, and is one of the shrewdest in terms of business. If the prefecture of Osaka was a country, its GNP would make it the tenth most prosperous nation on Earth. Osaka even has an "American Village."
The moat of Osaka-jo Castle
This is the largest stone in the whole castle. The "Octopus Stone" has a suface area of about 60 squre meters, and its estimated weight is 130 tons.

Osaka is the orgin place of Okonomiyaki, which is a large pancake made with seafood, meat, and vegetables. It literally means "cook what you like" because it is an inexpensive combination of foods that is cooked-to-order. We asked a security guard where the number one okonomiyaki place was, and he walked off from his post with us for about 20 minutes to lead us to the best place. I heart Japan.

Little do you know, but in further review of your latest posting I have discovered some evidence of a Godzilla sighting! The ferris wheel on top of the building that you see in the picture was actually demolished....and then I guess rebuilt later....in the classic Godzilla flick, Godzilla vs. Mothra II. Oh man that scene was classic. Mothra was coming at Godzilla while he had his back turned (yeah Mothra's cheap like that) and Godzilla whips around at the last second blows Mothra back through that very ferris wheel with his radioactive fire breath. Incredible! Keep up the good work my friend.
