Today was an excellent day. After doing my daily Japanese studies, I headed back to the Namba area first stoping at Kyoubashi a little bit to see the fare to go from my place to university. With normal fare, it would cost 10$ a day or nearly 200$ a month of commute! That is if I decide to stay here of course. At the campus, I would walk to school. From here, it is about 30min train ride. I also roamed a bit in the neighborhood and took a few pictures. Then I went to Tennouji station at the tourist information center. There I found a really nice free map called walking Osaka map. To get there, you have to go to exit through the central entrance and turn on your right. After I went back to the Namba area and my first stop was Citibank! Yesterday I called my bank and they confirmed that my PIN was already on my Credit Card and there shouldn't be any problem. So today I found out for sure and I could finally make cash advances. (I was relieved). Then I visited Amerika Mura and if you are in the neighborhood I do recommend the extra detour to go there. It is basically a spot for high-fashion teens to hang out and spend all their yen in clothing! The funny thing is that almost everyone is dressed he same way... I also saw a red TUQUE written CANADA hehe. I thought that was pretty cool.. Canada is fashinable in Amerika Mura! I went in one of those stores and it is extremely pricey... one normal sweatshirt was 130$ I took a few pictures from Amerika Mura. (American Village). I also walked on the main avenue there where most of the consulates are, and I stopped at the Canadian Consulate to register as a Canadian in Japan, just in case... I highly recommend anyone staying there for an extended period of time on a temporary visa to do that. The Canadian Consulate is on Midosouji avenue. YES! they have street names here and they are indicated! I also went to a place called Dougusugi (I think) where they sell alot of articles to prepare food, or hold a restaurant, so I bought a pan, but they did not have spatulas? One day, I will cook in Japan! Tomorrow I will head back to Namba area to give my completed form to the Canadian Consulate and try to find a spatula. I hope more shops will be open since tomorrow was still considered a Yasuminohi (holiday) for most.
