Osaka is a city of contrasts. A place where the old and the new blend together seamlessly.
Where the Eastern and the Western live in peace
and the ugly and the beautiful abide in harmony.
Where else you can find you find a monster truck parked in a Hello Kitty spot,
or an cannibalistic octopus about to eat a fried piece of octopus meat and fish on a stick?
In few places you can buy very expensive milk, cheese and eggs in the "Daily Foods" section,
and also find one of the best tasting gyros, cooked and served by a kind man willing to hand feed your child.
Here you can find super heroes...
and villains' minions.
Lots of different kinds of socks
and underwear.
Where art can be found sticking out of the ground,
on the side of a building,
under a building,
and even underfoot.
Where friends come in all sizes
and loved ones show up in unexpected places.
This is my home.
