Beautiful times in Osaka

After a second coffee it was time to meet my next host. I was hoping for another great experience and my hopes were certainly fulfilled, even exceeding expectations.

Toshi picked me up from the station and made immediately a friendly impression. He brought me to his house, the cutest house I have ever seen. He is living there with his family and at first I met his mother, who was so fantastic and trying hard to understand me. Toshi helped us to translate and I felt very welcome.

I dropped off my belongings and together we went for some dinner. This time I had the famous Okonomiyaki and it was delicious and I couldn’t get enough of it. I certainly will learn how to make them! We then headed home and we got some traditional dessert, pressed sticky rice with red beans. Until it was bed time we tried to teach each other Japanese/English/German and enjoyed a great mishmash conversation.
