Footy Dinner and Kobe

Hello everyone! How are you? Well if you are in Osaka, you know that it has been very humid lately. Rainy season is in full effect over here. Today it rained almost all day. That wreaks havoc on a bike ride to school. Well last Friday we had a small end of the Football season dinner. We went to a Brazil themed Churascaria, or BBQ place. It was very delicious, but a bit expensive. We had a great time, giving out awards like MVP, best goal scored, etc. I even got the meat sweats...dictionary that one. :)

This pic is of all the guys just eating and drinking at the restaurant.

On Sunday I went over to Kobe, Japan. It's only about 30 minutes away by train. Kobe is a really nice city, and it's a lot cooler than Osaka. Probably because of the sea that is there. It's more of a port town, and that is an important party of the economy. The area around the port is very nice. I want to go back at night because I'm sure it looks lovely. Well here are some pics of my small day trip to Kobe. Enjoy and I will be back soon!
