We are only 3 in this trip... and I am the only one coming from Manila (my 2 friends are working in Singapore). They arrived at Kansai International Airport 8 hours ahead of me. The places we visited in Osaka include the Osaka castle, Umeda Sky Observatory, and Universal Studios. But what is amazing in Japan is the mere fact that with or without an itinerary, every place you see is amazingly beautiful. And what really amazed me on my first day in Osaka are the wonderful colors of autumn!!! Now, I don't want to bore you with more words so I will stop here... and just let you see (and feel) the beauty that once surrounded me. :)
