I`d heard all manners of problomatic stories at embassies etc so had decided to get up really early and get off to Osaka and get the first of my Visas sorted as soon as possible, i had my passport, my passport photocopy, the filled in documents and a passport photo.. so i was fully prepared. I got there at 9 as planned and by 9:05 was outside all sorted. Apart from a few questions, she stamped it and told me to pick it up friday at the cost of 4000 yen (about 28 quid) so although at the time of writing i don`t have either my passport or Visa, by tommorrow i should.
So with my morning dealt with much quicker than aticipated, i thought i`d revert to big kid mode and go off to Osaka`s famous aquarium for the day. I don`t think i`d been to an aquarium since sea life in blackpool when i was about 6 and i really enjoyed myself. The building itself was pretty impressive and directly next to it was this ferris wheel, bigger than any i`d ever seen. On closer reading that was because it was the biggest in the world at 112m high.
I got back for around 5 and just went and sat at the imperial palace, sun bathed a bit and wrote up the book, i`d met a couple from sydney in the hostel the other night and had arranged to meet up for a beer and hopefully spot a Geisha or two. Seeing a Geisha is like seeing a panda in the wild over here, or for me it`s as likely as finding the door to Narnia as we saw squat. But i did have a nice beer in good company so all in all a good night.
Welcome,
to yet another travel blog!
This is the second time I’ve wrote this intro thing. I wrote one trying way too hard to sound the way I wish I could write. The truth is though, since my GCSE’s I haven’t had to do any proper writing what-so-ever. I did all art A-level as well as an art degree and now work as a graphic designer.
Hopefully it turns out alright, I’m going to try to update as much as possible and if you need to email me privately I’ll be checking my mails every week or so, so just click the mail button above. If the writing becomes too painful then you can go straight to all the photo’s from the "Pictures" link at the top, as will all my videos.
Cheers to anyone who ends up reading this, although I’m sure it’ll become a spam paradise of abuse from friends and work colleagues..cya all in a year or so :D

Hi! Very jealous of your sea life adventure!! Ours was slightly less spectacular. We went to the Sea Zoo in Anglesey, which apparently is one of the biggest aquariums in Wales. I think to be honest the guy typing the leaflet got the words smallest and biggest mixed up. It prob was smaller then the tank for the Whale Shark. They are some amazing photos. Amy xx
