Exactly One Year Ago Today - Day 10

Time to leave beautiful Kyoto and head on to Osaka cos our flight's the next day... booo hooo hoooo... Bid my farewell to Granny. I was gonna miss her alot. She's real fun to be with plus she's a real interesting character. How many Grandmas you know smokes and drinks and offer their late husbands beer and a lit cigarette on their shrine? Not many right? Baachan ni aitai nano...

In Osaka, Junko brought me manga shopping! Second-hand that is. I was shocked to see the amount of mangas available in that store. I had a limited time so I only bought 3 books for only ¥168 each. The original price per each book was ¥390. The books' condition was almost as good as new.

She then brought me to visit her good fren, U-rin chan's brand new place. Her house was nice. Her apartment has a high ceiling and guess what? She has a ceiling-fan! Apparently when she came over to M'sia, she was intrigued with it and decided to get by all means. haha... kawaii~

Later in the evening, while Junko and her hubby went to return the rental car and the other lovebirds fell asleep on the couch, I had a wonderful conversation with Junko's mom. It was hard for us to strike up a conversation first so all we had was their cable book programme and from there... we jumped from topic to topic bout actors, comedians, travelling, my stay in Japan, Junko and Seiko's (Jun's baby sis) childhood, kanji and its strokes, me and her.

Then mom dropped us (Weng Yan, Jesse and I) off at the hotel we're gonna stay for the night. I really liked the place. It was real clean and roomy not to mention the marvellous ofuro as well. It is a necessity in Japan. It has become my necessity as well...
