Hep 5, Umeda

Ok so this week I spent my days off chilling out since we're not paid until the end of the week-welcome to the real 'monthly-paid world!'- and set off to explore North Osaka. The Cherry Blossoms are still in full bloom so after spotting a few I headed to Umeda which is a trendy, fashionable part of Osaka.... popular with fellow window-shopaholics!!!

I went to find Hep Hep 5, a landmark department store with a huge red ferris wheel on the roof - which can literally be seen from anywhere in the city! The department store was like being in heaven.... watch out pay day!! But the views from the top were just incredible... so take a peek!

This is a view on the way up so you can see what it's like to live in one of the biggest cities in the world...



More parkland...

The big red ferris wheel, cool huh!

Monday night's sleep over with Wes, Kate and Kenny after a few too many at the local 280 yen bar.... hmmmmm

My city... :-)
