osaka flashback

liz, carrie and i are leaving tomorrow night for osaka!!! figured i should post the pics from our last trip before i get too backed up. the first time we headed there was for liz's birthday back in october.
way too excited to be drinking starbucks...


dotonbori on the banks of the river


nope, not a hair salon. it's a host bar where you can pay men to 'entertain' you.
take your pick...


workin' off that huge caramel latte


this place better have some mean bacon if they're gonna advertise like that.


people watching in amerika mura, which means american village. but if you're hip like us you can just say ame mura.


the girls hit the streets. this shot is evidence why i don't smile open-mouthed in pics. am i missing a front tooth or what?!


yaki niku for dinner




we noticed this phantastic car just as the owner noticed us. he graciously allowed us to act like we were pimpin' in his ride.






killin' time before our tattoo appt.


we tore up the town with these osaka boys, who we met at the fuji rock festival last year.


we're eating again...imagine that. look at all the plates we fat foreigners licked clean. but it was mexican...c'mon, give us a break.
