We went to One of a Kind Show and Sale Vancouver event on the weekend. It was great to see unique products being showcased by the creators and artists from all over North America. Here are some photos taken during the event.
After walking around Dōtonbori, for a few hours, it was time for dinner. We found another place for okonomiyaki.
During our visit in Osaka, we saw stores after stores of takoyaki (たこ焼き) stands. There are so many people who like takoyaki that there are always line ups for takoyaki. We wonder if there is a way we can open our own takoyaki stand as well.
If you are in the Dōtonbori area, you can also visit Hozen-ji. It is an interesting temple right in between Dōtonbori and Namba.
While we were in Tokyo, we spent some time with Mr. Danny Choo. It was nice to see him and his wife again. Both me and my wife have been following Danny’s blog for a number of years. I started reading Danny’s blog when he still had time to make Gunplas. I remember at that time I was looking for PG Strike photos online and was totally impressed by the quality of content Danny posted on his blog. It was great to have met him for the second time in the past few years and hope many more to come. Here are a selected few photos to share with you.
Always wondered about Kani Douraku (かに道楽) as seen on a lot of travel advertisements and TV programs of Osaka. So here we are seeing one gigantic crab on the wall of the Kani Douraku restaurant!
This is our first time to Osaka and Dōtonbori (道頓堀) in Osaka is a must-visit attraction. We were leisurely walking through the shopping streets in the area and took loads of pictures. Here are some to share with you.
After spending some time at local supermarkets like LIFE, I realized that the groceries expenses in Tokyo and Osaka is pretty similar to those in Vancouver. For example, imported alcohol like Yellow Tail from Australia costs ¥858 (roughly about C$11). The same bottle of Yellow Tail retails here at C$13. Let’s take a look at other items….
