Shinkansen to Kyoto/Osaka

D and I headed to Osaka on the Shinkansen Nozomi Bullet Train.
It was fun.
It was hell annoying to do with 4 suitcases. We managed though.
Here is the train.
How spacey.
How rubbish do our trains look in comparison?


a
Can you see how fast we were going by the window? Probably not.
I think it goes around 300km/ph.
It made me feel so sick. My ears were blocking and my head was feeling the pressure.
I'm the biggest travel suck. I always get sick. But this time D got sick too and he never feels travel sickness!

I'm wearing a leopard print tee I got from Zara. You can tell I was sick because I was wearing a tshirt in freezing weather. I felt so hot and sick. Ughhhhh!
I even took several trips to the toilet to vommy but nothing came out.
Weird huh?!



The lady came around with her food/drinks trolley and we bought these snacks.
I dunno WHAT the hell Grand Canyon flavour is, but I know I don't want to try it.
I imagine dust and dirt. It's probably smokey BBQ flavour. I dunno. That was Ds choice.


We arrived at ShinOsaka and got a cab to the hotel.
We stayed in the Japanese suite at the Ritz Carlton Osaka.
It was nice and suprisingly very affordable. ( well compared to the crazy tokyo prices)
Ds boof head got in the way of my photo. He does this A LOT. Thnxhun.



Here are lots of photos. Japaneseeeeeyyyyyyyy Hahahha.
It gave me flash backs of my early teen years doing home stay in Japan.



The suite had so many different rooms and areas. It was kind of difficult to photograph it all.



I have NO IDEA what the hell this was!!
Can anyone help out? It's a tap on top of a bamboo slat. I thought it could be for foot washing but it wasn't near the entrance so I'm really at a loss.



I think we were on the 28th floor and you could open all the windows fully out!
HOW CRAY CRAY!!
I got so nervous. Stayed well away. Can you imagine the wind at that height?
I was scared if I opened the windows that the air pressure would suck me out or something.
I think the windows were there because the room was a smoking room.
It didn't smell like smoke though.
I was suprised to see it was smoking because you could imagine that the tatami mats would absorb the cigarette smell??? Imagine if they dropped a cigarette on the matts or into the walls or something?!?



Tea time!


So cool!
Wish we had more time here :(



This bathroom is exactly like my host family's in Japan!
It was memory lane for me.
I sat on the thing and used the tub to shower. Haha so funny. I like sitting down showers.
It requires less effort.
If there is one thing I like, It's being lazy in the morning. Woooooo.


Some cute little art work on the walls..



Here I am emailing a friend K. Hello !!
How funny is my Yukata?
It's so corny to dress up in the yukatas they provide.



At night they came and made our futons. So cute yeah?
We pushed them together.
Maybe they thought we were brother and sister. EW.
I was worried I wouldn't be able to sleep well on the futon. I remembered that I liked it back in the day, but I'm no spring chicken anymore.
It ended up being very comfortable though.
Yay.


Cheesy Photo time!!
How funny is this photo?
I LOOK LIKE A TOOTHLESS HILLBILLY!
hahahha.
"Hey ma!"
Just like Cletus from the Simpsons.



And that is it.

Oyasumi Nasai!!
