osaka here we come!!

so my bags are packed, i`m ready to go, i`m standing here outside your door . . . . going on a trip songs, like john denver`s here, have been rounding my head as of late. and that`s because tiff, carrie, and i are heading to OSAKA!!!! it`s a birthday trip, for none other than yours truly. i`ll be hitting mid-twenties right on the head of the nail - 25. we`re heading on an overnight bus this evening to land us right in downtown osaka at 6:40 in the morning. i am so excited i`m about to burst!!! exiting the bus dazed and tired, i`m sure we`ll perk right up when we walk into fantasy land. for us at least, the dream to go and live in osaka has been a common topic among us gals. osaka is the second biggest city in japan, following tokyo. if you want history and japanese culture, you go to kyoto. but if you want party, party, and more party until you drop - you head to osaka. earlier in the year, over the summer, the girls and i were deciding where to head for my birthday celebration, and we decided osaka almost immediately. my birthday is situated perfectly for a short trip every year because it`s a national holiday in japan. yes!!! osaka is the fashion, hip, youth, art, and progress center for japan. and we`re going to be in the middle of it all - osaka better watch out . . . here we come
