In Japan: Day 5 - Osaka

Osaka is a pretty horrendous city. As soon as I stepped off the train I knew that I was not going to like it.

It's a maze of shop upon shops upon neon signs of some kind of dystopia's concrete jungle that came straight out of Blade Runner. Here everything felt run down. At night people prowl the streets in distasteful fashion to seek physical companionships, truly a city of decadence and greed. I'm thankful that I needed only to stay for a day.

Meeting Jenny took a little longer than I anticipated. She too shared much of my frustrations, but decided to like the city nevertheless. I'm sure I'm in no position to make a justified judgment of the place after only a day's stay, but the business nature of the city just turns me right off.
