2nd brief report!
Haha, decide to rent the laptop from the hotel in Osaka again since its our last night here and we don't know if there is such service in the next hotel. S$15+/rental was a tad expensive but not overly so I guess...
Why do we (I, especially) need it though?
I borrowed it the first time because my memory cards for my camera was running out of space on the 5th day, and it was 8GB worth! Now, on the 9th day of our trip, I used up 6GB once more!
Anyway, day 6:
After Kyoto was Nara! OMG all the deers running wild/free in the park and on the pathway, just standing there letting people feed and touch them. So not stranger-shy! And it was freaking crowded. I was wrong went I thought Kyoto was crowded because Nara was so much worse.
The deers were cute though. And we walked a LOT until I was super tired, but we still went Tsuruhashi after that, although when we reached there we discovered all the shops were already closed!
Went to this shop selling books/cds/dvd near the station. All selling at extremely cheap prices! I suspect its 2nd-hand, but the condition seems good so I didnt care. Bought some KAT-TUN Stuff (:
Day 7:
FINALLY my JOHNNY SHOP trip. But the geniuses that made me go on this day (sunday) obviously ignored the fact of the power of fangirls on sunday. The shop was CROWDED. And most of the merchandise was already gone, leaving only photographs. Grabbed Kame's (:
And then it was Tsuruhashi again, followed by wandering around the area. Was tired from Nara still and wanted to go back to the hotel to rest in the afternoon for a bit. But while we change train at Tennoji, I mentioned the Shi'tennoji Temple that I wanted to visit and they agreed!
Then they say it was too hot and we wandered in the mall next to the station for a bit.
And when it was 4 plus I suggest we head off for the temple they cancelled on me!!!!!!! So unfair! Why do they never want to go to the place I want to and yet make me go to the place they want to but I dont?
Rested for 1/2 hour back at the hotel before setting off again in search of dinner and shopped in the streets around our area.
And when I was taking photos at this bridge, this american uncle next to us just started talking to me about photography! Turns out he's a photographer. His wife was a pretty Japanese though lol.
Day 8:
The Kaiyukan today. While the fishes were pretty boring, the penguins, river otters and sealion were cute. The sea otters were SUPER cute! They killed us with their uber cuteness.
Shopped around the area until it was dark before taking the Ferris Wheel there. Except us it was all couples taking!!! And on the way up we spotted that the people infront and behind us were all kissing inside! URGH.

Leaving Hotel Fontaine Shinsaibashi tomorrow after 5 nights! It was a night hotel, although the room was a bit small, to the point that it looked like a hurricane blew through it every morning, the service was good. They cleaned it up perfectly everyday by the time we got back.
The buffet breakfast was good too.
But I didn't like the fact that the only way up, the lifts, were right in front of the reception counter! It made us sneaking Xiuqi in so much harder. LOL.
