Osaka

I went to Osaka last week for 4 days.
I visited many places I used to go during my exchange program in Osaka university.
It reminded me lot of nice memories and I felt a bit nostalgic...

I took the night bus so no need to say that I was pretty tired actually...
But it's ok I had onigiri to recover from my short night:
Then I went to Namba and meet an old friend.
We had a all you can eat Okonomiyaki, monjya yaki and yakisoba: 
It was nice because they let you cook by yourself (hum, depends on the cooking skills of the cook...)
Half made okonomiyaki on the left and yakisoba on the right:
 Complete okonomiyaki:
 Monjya yaki:
Next day I went to Fushimi-inari in Kyoto: 


 The weather was perfect, a bit cloudy with some mist...




 We had a short break where we ate a boiled egg:

 The goal is near....
 We reached it!!! The top of the mountain!!

 As we had some time left, we decided to go to the Tofuku temple: 




 

Then I decided to go to the lab to greet the students and professors.
This is one of the nearest station from the campus. Well you still need to walk for about 15 minutes to reach the campus...

 hum....not a lot to do in the area...
  
The lake near the campus: 
To finish the day I went to the dorm I used to live (in a very smaaaaaall room): 
 The shopping mall:
 White cherry blossom: 

 Red plum:
 The dorm:
The last day I went to my professor's barbecue party.
I was really happy to the students and the teachers again.
Vegetables:
 10 kilos of meat:

 Yummy yummy:

 
 Yakisoba:

    I have to say, i was a bit worried for the beggining... I went there and I ate this and this .. what about what you actually saw and did?? (and comes later on)

    But wait ... whaaaaaaaaaat, you go to a restaurant, and YOU have to cook by yourself, what's the point? it's like going to a hair dresser where you'd cut your hairs by yourself?

    Anyway it seems to be a nice place and I can imagine it was nice to revisit the places you used to go!

      Why not?
      Actually it's quite funny to cook by yourself, you can customize it with toppings!
      You can of course ask someone to cook it for you.
