Cissy and Gabriel: April 2007

Osaka 5/4-- 8/4/2007 --- Day 3 Kobe

We head off early in the morning to Kobe.

We only have 1 day in Kobe, so we went to see only a couple of things. Again, before any sight seeing, Kobe beef for lunch first.

We first head to 異人館, then Kobe port to see the earthquake remains...

We then had some dessert and some serious Kobe beef at 大井肉店 (recommended by 風花說日) SO NICE, really melts in your mouth!!!

We decided to do some shopping to help us digest....and it did help and we got hungry again! So, snack in the streets!

After a "full" day in Kobe, we took JR back to Osaka...but the eating did not stop, we went to the famous 魚心! The sushi are so fresh and you can see the chef cutting fresh raw fish all the time!

Address: 地下鉄御堂筋線梅田駅 walk 5 mins, M6 exit, 阪急東通商店街

We then head back to hotel. Day 4 we woke up at 6 and head straight to APT and left for HKG :P

Special Thanks to Clement and Abbie for being great photographers, GPS and travel companions!

Osaka 5/4-- 8/4/2007 --- Day 2 Cherry Blossom @Osaka

We woke up early in the morning and visited the 西之丸庭園 inside Osaka City. It is very near to our hotel in 天滿橋.

The weather was so nice and the sakura is so beautiful.

Then we moved to the hotel in Yodoyabashi. Both hotel we stayed in were under the toyoko inn chain (www.toyoko-inn.com/eng/)

The rest of the day was shopping and eating again at Shinsabashi.

And we also met up with Clement and Abbie for dinner and dessert.

Thats all for a relaxing day, we went back to hotel to prepare for our "beef hunt" in Kobe tomorrow.

Osaka 5/4-- 8/4/2007 --- Day 1

Arrived at KIX airport 2100....took us 1.5 hrs to get into the hotel room.

Toyoko Inn are all over the place, we stayed in the one near 天滿橋 Tenmabashi

Of course, though its late, we had to go out and find food ;) and we went to a curry house across the road.....we ordered a pretty nice pork cutlet curry with cheese.
