I will say I enjoy Beppu City much better. Why? Well, walking down the street you can say Ohayogozaimasu (Oh-Hi-Oh Go-Zai-Mas) to people on the street. (That means good morning!) People are friendlier and less city like in Osaka. I still love that city though, very fun and exciting.

Takoyaki Restaurant |
We then parted ways with Akane and met up with her dad and brother who took us through downtown Osaka which had amazing restaurants and shops. All name brand stuff including Fossil (a brand on Newbury street in Boston!)
For dinner that night we made Yakoyaki! Which is very very good. It's a ball of wheat flower with octopus in it. Sometimes beef, with corn, cheese maybe and green onion. Really, you can put anything in it. It's made in a ball shape, smothered in takoyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise (which is nothing like American mayo).
It needs a special pan with little holes in it. It's really fun to make and they taste so good! Definitely my favorite snack type food. It's healthier when home made of course, but it really is a festival, going out snack type food.
