Today muslim worldwide celebrate after a month-long fasting during the Ramadan month. Celebration includes morning prayers followed by visiting to relatives & friends home. Prayers starts at 830 followed by the sermon. After prayers, the family from my wife sife gathered at our grandmother home in Keramat. Lemang(rice cooked in bamboo) were served.

Osaka Day 3 - Umeda & Den Den Town
This is the 3rd day we were in Osaka. It was raining since last night. The hotel reception offered us umbrellas.Even though it was drizzling, but enough to get us wet. Had tepoyaki for brekkfast or rather brunch. There we always long queue for this local dish. We ordered a pack of 8 piece for yen450 with daun bawang, mayonaisse, slices of dried tuna toppings. Had them with cokes.
We took the subway again to Yodobashi Camera Outlet in Umeda to buy perfune and watches as souvenoirs for the kids at home. The price were quite competitive compared to the rest of the outlet we visited. Umeda is only 4 station away from Namba subway station.
Osaka Day 2 - Umeda, Dotonbori
On 2nd day we went to Umeda, Osaka central transport station with connections to all over Japan. The underground train station had similar system just like the ones in London and Paris. The difficult part is that the signboard were in Japanese with litle English. So i have to ask around to buy tickets from the dispensing machine.
The walk from the hotel for Umeda took us to the Dotonbori area. The place is a popular area where tourist and locals hang around. The street stretches for almost a kilometer long. We stopped over at the local brand Evisu jeans outlet to take photos. A jeans itself cost Rm800, so tengok aje ler.
