Japanese streets # 10// Photos I took in Osaka 9 months ago

So I've definitely completely neglected my blog recently- blame work.
But, I have been taking photos, and I wanted to start sharing more about what I've been up to, more about working in Japan, house hunting, Japanese products that really work, clothes I've bought and gigs I went to... you know, the usual!

And so I thought I'd start from the actual start of the year, when I landed in my favourite city in Japan, Osaka, and spent a happy jetlagged day walking around taking photos and eating Takoyaki.

This first set is from Shin Osaka/ Umeda- I'd just got off the plane and was feeling really grotty and not up for being around the sparkly young fashionable people in the shopping district of Umeda, so I found myself walking around the grottier backstreets and we all know how I feel about Japanese streets!

That's it for today! Check back next week for more pictures from Osaka <3

Let me know if there are any posts you'd like to see coming up- I definitely want to post more about life in Japan, especially more 'useful' posts like about how to rent (I had quite a tough time) and like the N1 and stuff. So yeah stay tuned and bye for now <3

Thanks for reading!! -Amy xoxo
