I just arrived in my hotel in Osaka. It's a small tatami room, but it looks quite clean.

About the rides being closed, that's probably because there was an accident in another park with a rollercoaster, and now all the security has to be checked. It was on the news. Might be because of that, but it was very windy though

Good to hear you arrived ok

I do understand about the safety aspect of the rides, but its annoying when you have been twice and both times the main ride has been closed

Today was all about shopping for us. We went to Harajuku first. Hardly any cosplayers etc on the saturday unfortunately. Anyway, had a proper look around the large Book-Off there. Over an hour later, I spent over Y10000, and I could have easily spent much more. I had to tell myself to leave before I did spend more

Took a short walk to Shibuya and had lunch in Starbucks. Chose this spot as it directly overlooks the main crossing, so you get a great view of the sea of people crossing when the lights change. It really is a sight to watch and stare. Had a look around after, but generally less interested in the fashion shops that seem to be all around.

Sumo tomorrow, yay.

Going to take me all day to sort my pics

As I said before, it was Sumo day today. We arrived there at 8:15, matches started at 8:30. The last match was at 18:00, so we saw 10 hours worth of Sumo

The day starts off slow, with little people there. From the beginning until around 14:00, only basically unknown trainees fight, so the matches aren't too popular for most. Interesting for us Gajin though. The 'middleweights' come out later and this is when it starts to get more busy. The arena is basically full by the time the 'heavyweights' come out. These matches are certainly exciting, you get more build up to each match and the crowd really gets behind them.

For Y3600, we had the cheapest seats, but you still get an great view of the matches. Not the best place for pictures though, even 6x zoom isn't much. So, when the arena isn't very full, you can wander down to the lower area, much nearer the ring for better pictures
