The other night we were in the common room that's basement and hardly anyone comes down there so we basically set up camp for the day - complete take over. Then later in the evening this father and son come in guess where they were from!? Australia! So of course we started chatting with them. We conversed about anything from Steve Irwin (RIP) to politics to movies. It was so much fun just spending some time with others. Also there was some clarification - they do not actually say "put another shrimp on the barbie" because they don't have shrimp they have prawns and they don't taste good put on a BBQ. Also no one says crikey, unless imitating Steven Irwin. But, really we just sat around shooting the breeze it was awesome. Then last night we spent a little more time talking in the evening before we all went out again.
This morning we ended up sleeping in a long time. Apparently we needed some extra rest since we went out last night to Dotonbori (sp?). But before we got to Dotonbori we tried Den Den Town, well later at night it isn't really open and not catering to the female crowd...really there were only men out there and porn shop open, hehe.
So we are just now headed to Osaka Castle and the another Temple. Will update later.
Oh, dad we are totally using other bags we bought to bring our extra purchase home, thank goodness for being able to have 2 carry-ons.

By crikey mate... I'll take an shrimp on the barbie... but if you remember NCIS when Tony was chatting with the girls on the boat... they too mentioned that the shrimp are prawns... thought you'd like that little bit.. can't wait till "show & tell"...
Apparently we'll always have a friend in an Australian. Seriously what is their population, because the only other travelers i talked to on our trip were Australian.(the exception being shirtless norcal local in Rome)
