Ferris Wheel


I just had my third trip to visit my sister in Osaka last month. Moreover, I got to visit the three major cities of Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe in Kansei again. The day I went to Kyoto was a rainy day. Rain can somewhat be a “turn off” for a trip, however, a rainy day actually makes Kyoto city look like a purer and more mysterious oriental beauty in many ways. Osaka just kept reminding me of a very warm, loud and crowded local market, not quite a typical Japanese style, but definitely a more friendly and easy going version of it. At Kobe, we decided to be the typical tourists. We took the Ferris wheel by Kobe Port and had the world famous “Kobe Beef”, and then you said to yourself, what more could you ask for a great day out, lol!

After trying all kinds of Japanese gourmet, the taste I miss the most is actually the rice ball full of homemade flavour for breakfast at the hotel. Perhaps the simplest food can be the most profound and unforgettable.
