It`s saturday (again!), time to go out!

We are in rainy season, we don`t get blue sky . So I decided to take kids to The Science center.

First, we took a train to Osaka, then changed to an underground. We walked through underground route , but oh, it`s huge!

It conects 3 or 4 different lines of train, 3 big department stores and various shopping center in between, and it spreads about 1.2km around. I never know where I`m walking in there!

This is an underground city we saw.....

Are we teleported back in UK?

One of passages was entirely covered with 3D picture , the image of London!

This one was in the corner of one end and looked most realistic!

It doesn`t show up in a photo well.

After we teleported back again to where we were, we got on tube train.

I couldn`t believe how empty it was!! But yey!


After few minutes of walk we arrived to the Science center!

The Cubic Robot welcomed and entertained us at the entrance.

It completes making cube (that toy which you have to match each face with each colour by moving around one line of squares at a time. what does it called??)

Inside was bit smaller than the one in London, but same kind of hands on stuff and sience shows that kids can enjoy.

Making sparks from high voltaged electricity.

Balls are floating in a wind.

And there was a planetarium and also they showed little movie in there.

We watched " the pre-histric park" and that was from English TV program with Jonathan Marvin(I think that was his name....) in, that he goes back to when dinousaurous were around and teleport them back to now to save them! They made program really short for this, so it was bit disappointing.

After lots of walk around, it`s got to be tea time!

I had searched and found a organic-eco style cafe near-by, so with my hand made map, we walked to the cafe.

But when we got there ... it was closed down and now changed into "Ra-men noodle bar"!!

Ra-men(noodles in a soup, and it`s really yummy !) is nice but Hunny is off wheat and I`m not big fun of MSG!

and anyway we wanted to have some tea!!

so, just went to the cafe on the way back to the station.

Hunny and Viz with Pizza(end up to have some wheat, oh well..) and cold chocolate.

and strawberry mousse!

Back at the station, we dicided to go to a book shop as they have " English book coner"

Twilight, Harry Potter, Rainbow magic, Paffin classics.....

They`ve got some books for grown-ups too.

and magazines... quite good selections!
