Even the mundane, when cast in the right light, can seem exotic and intriguing.
For a city of 2.6 million (2005) it sure seems deserted.
Often things seen day in day out lose their charm. It takes stopping and looking at it from another angle to realize what you missed all those days that you walked by without a glance.
In Japan sensory overload is so common. Advertisements are everywhere and noise pollution is rampant, but every once in a while simplicity makes you stop and take notice.
In the day, you don't really notice the interesting facade.
The absence of light sure makes it stand out.

Is anyone thirsty about now?

I miss the silence of a side street in Osaka, the taste of an Asahi after 8 hours of English, and the warm feeling of a steaming bowl of ramen in my face on a cold Kansai night.
I love that last photo. I remember the night we went to that izakaya... Had a great time!
then come back!!!
The pictures are pretty! A city of 2.6 million????? I can't even wrap my mind around that.
Isn't it crazy. That's a LOT of people. You should see downtown when it's busy. The streets are like rivers of humanity!
oh my! i really like the kind of modern-meets-the-history feel in japan. btw, osaka is not dirty:). enjoy it as much as u can:)
You're right. Dirty is a relative term. Osaka is dirtier than Tokyo because of the large amount of factories located here, but much cleaner than many other industry centered cities located around the world.
