Last week my wife and I finally got to take a trip to Kansai. This was something that we have been wanting to do since we first arrived in Japan. The reason it took so long to finally go is because it was always a busy season, we had other plans, or we couldn’t get the time off of work at the same time. This week though, was both Marta’s and my Birthdays. Marta’s on the 11th and mine on the 12th. So, we took a few days off of work and celebrated by visiting the places we have wanted to go to the most.
To travel to Osaka by Shinkansen would have been fast and fun, but to save money we decided to take a night bus, which was over half of the cost. The trip started out a little rough because I was waiting at the wrong side of the station from where our bus arrived and we almost missed it. Luckily, they called and asked where we were and waited for us until we found it. What a way to begin.
