|

The 2nd of June was without preplanned events. I decided to go to Osaka, had never been there bevore.

The Kyoto central train station is a quite modern building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I picked up a bento (packed food), many around to choose from!
|
|
|
|
I just love this style of advertisements - why are they not around in Europe?
|

|
Waiting for the train

Arrival in Shin-Osaka. Learned that Shin-Osaka where I dropped off the Bullettrain was still quite far from the centre of Osaka..

Skyscrapers and interesting houses around

Maps of the area exist but leave room for interpretation. I would have loved to use google maps here, but had not cached maps from Osaka - and the roaming costs with a German phone contract are just insanely high.

At Kyoto station, decided to have dinner in this curry place.
|
|
|
|
Buy your ticket and hand it over to the waiter..

|
Black curry for the first time, this tasted a bit sweetish.
