Kabuki ja nai ga, Osaka-jo wa kirei desu

Today we didn't do a whole lot. We had planned to go to kabuki and possibly an onsen, but it turned out kabuki doesn't start in Osaka until April (much like bunraku, and despite much information to the contrary). The onsen also turned out to be problematic to get to. So instead Eric and Norbert returned to Den-Den town to get a new digital camera, which so far seems really good (it's a Fuji FinePix F460, with a nice big, bright LCD screen). Michelle helped Hitomi do some grocery shopping, and we had a tasty home-cooked lunch (yakisoba or fried noodles) and dinner (sukiyaki). Oishikatta desu yo! In the afternoon we walked the short distance to Osaka-jo koen, the park surrounding Osaka castle. I got to try out my new camera by taking some photos. Let me know what you think.
