Today was a good day for a nap. It started out a little rainy and cold and ended up just humid most of the day. For that reason I was looking for more caffeine (again). I started out with a different ¥490 morning set at Pronto who had the same deal on Saturday. I think I saw some cheaper sets elsewhere but I’m not sure they were as good.

I decided to take a leisurely walk down Nakanoshima because, why not? When I got to the end I noticed I was almost to Osaka Castle again. I went the opposite direction and found myself at the end of the Tenjinbashi Shopping arcade (the longest in Japan they say).

But I just headed back to Umeda. On the way I was tempted by this coffee cup but am I really the kind of guy who has a $60 coffee cup?

Umeda was crowded, so I stated to the outskirts. My sister suggested a curry restaurant that ended up being in a semi-seedy building and the seating was all crammed in at a counter. So I tried something else.

After that I walked back to the hotel but my room wasn’t clean yet. I went to Starbucks to kill an hour and found myself falling asleep. When I woke up I noticed other people were doing the same thing. I think it’s the weather.

In the evening I met an old co-worker for dinner. He took me to a cheap tempura place that was tasty and we talked at a coffee shop. Then he took me driving around my old haunts and that was my last day in Osaka!
