So yesterday we went to Osaka because the Mexican consulate held an Independence Day festival. When I first got there I was a bit disappointed because it was pretty small and the people selling tacos, beer, and souvenirs were Japanese, some Mexicans were selling beer and tequila shots, but still. Also, when we got there there were some women dancing and yeah, they were Japanese. Anyway, at the end I REALLY enjoyed myself and I felt very happy.
I was actually surprised at the amount of Mexicans there, I mean, it wasn't really a lot, but it just made me happy to know they were there. Moreover, there were several Mexicans who married Japanese (usually Mexican women with Japanese men but I saw this Mexican guy with his Japanese wife and their children were beautiful, it just made me happy). They had a band fly from Mexico, they were student from a University in Cuernavaca, I think. They also had a mariachi and it was a lot of fun. The grito de independencia also made me very happy. It was nice to feel at home all the way over here.
The festival ended at 9pm so we went to dinner and the to Pure. I drank a lot and was happy. We didn't sleep, we stayed in Osaka till 8:30AM or so. We came back after breakfast. Yuji was with us the whole time and he helped and took care of us, he's such a nice man. But yeah, I got home around 9:30AM or so, showered and slept until 4:30PM. It was fun but I doubt I'll drink that much again. What messed me up was the last three tequila shots I drank. I drank them with friends and the bar tender (who was very attractive) but I think I'll pass on the shots next time. Maybe I've become a party girl?...NAH!! Anyway, here are the pictures and the videos.
Skybuilding (the big one) in downtown Osaka, that's where the festival was held.

At Skybuilding they held an anime exhibition. Most of the art was a sexy and provocative and/or gay. I didn't mind it, the art is really cool. But I found these among all the art and I got very excited because I like Full Metal Panic. Mostly though because I know my brother loves it so I took the pics for him, I wasn't supposed to but I did it anyway, oops! The art ranged from $1,000-$7,000 freaking crazy!
Mariachi!!
Ay que linda! haha. Takako gave me that fan when we met : )
The fountain was really cool, the lights changed colors so it looked really pretty.
After the festival getting some food. The group was actually bigger but Majo wanted us to go to this fancy restaurant where her friend works. We weren't about to spend $50 on something that will come out of our bodies in a few days.
On our way home, it was really bright! But the weather is becoming beautiful it's not as hot anymore.
El grito de independencia. VIVA MEXICO!
this fountain was really pretty!
the soup was so hot! i had to take a picture of it!
