Osaka - Day 1; 2nd Nov 2008

Yeah...finally touched the ground and smell the air of Japan....after a long 6 hr flight!

Mummy say I had been quite a nice boy, cos i slept thru out the trip

Daddy went to collect our Big Luggage and found that one of the wheels had fallen out.
Still not so bad, cos Daddy still can drag on 3 wheels...

Mummy asking for direction to the subway station.

Sleepy me and Mummy

My happy Daddy & Mummy

We took the Nankai Line Subway to Hotel Ilcuore, which is near Nankai Namba station.
Along the way, something bad happened again after we alight at the train station...
Another wheel dropped out! This time Daddy's really gonna have a bad time lugging a 30kg luggage...and bad thing is, Mummy still can't figure out where's our Hotel located!!!
After some hand-gesturing for directions by the local ppl, we managed to reach the road outside our Hotel ...yet another thing happen...ANOTHER wheel dropped out again! Now its only left with 1 wheel...Daddy gave up and simply drag the luggage towards our Hotel, luckily its only a 2 mins walk away! What an adventurous 1st DAY!

Since the check-in time is at 3pm, we left our luggage with the Hotel Concierge and freshen up at the Hotel Lobby's toilet before heading for our 1st destination...OSAKA Castle.



First meal at Osaka. 330yen for 1 bowl of noodle...

Departure Day - To Osaka ; 1st Nov 2008

Aunty Celeste and Uncle Dylan offered to drive us to the Airport

We had dinner at the Amara Hotel Korean Restaurant, together with Arielle, Po Po and Aunty Rane.

My naughty Arielle mei-mei kept snatching my utensils during dinner...

After that we headed back to Aunty Celeste house while Daddy sent Po Po back home.
We hang around till about 10pm then we head to the Airport....

When we are about to reach the airport, Mummy ask Daddy about my jacket and Daddy suddenly remembered that our jacket are still in our car, which we had parked at Aunty Celeste's condo!!!

Gasp....! Uncle Dylan quickly drop us off and sped off with Daddy back to the condo...
Imagine going to Osaka without our jackets!!! That will be terrible...the temperature there is between 10 deg to 19 deg now.

Luckily all went well after that and we happily checked in and boarded the plane at 12.30am...yawnzzz ....

Family outfit! The flight steward ask us where did we manage to find these shirts, with identical stripes!! Thanks to Mummy who search high and low for this family outfit.

A tired me, waiting to board the plane. I started getting cranky on the plane as its already way past my bedtime... Luckily there's this kind flight steward who gave me a cute little plush toy and i doze off a little while later after Mummy sang me the lullaby....

OSAKA...here i come!

Yeah...i will be on the plane in another 4hrs time....

Can't wait to set my tiny feet on Kansai Airport :)
Stay tuned for my photos!
