18 Sep 2008 - Day 7: Shinsekai, Den Den Town and last minute shopping

Today is our last day to walk around in Osaka. As such, we had reserve sometimes to buy souvenirs and goodies back for friends and families. However, before we went shopping for those stuff, we decided to visit one more place, Shinsekai (New World).
Shinsekai is a thriving area reminiscent of the downtown mood of Osaka during the 1950s/60s. It is famous for the Tsutenkaku tower, Jan-Jan Alley and the huge blowfish lantern suspended above the street.


It seems to be the 100th birthday for Billiken as there were banners all over the place.

We started our shopping today at Den Den Town. As I've mentioned in my earlier blog on Day 3, we have already shortlisted several Wii accessories. So without wasting much time, we went straight to the shop and bought Wii Fit (game and balancing board), a Wii gun, a DS Lite casing and a DS Lite stylus.

After that, we walked over to Dotombori and Shinsaibashi area for more goodies shopping.

We came across a shop that sells Grilled Crab and we bought some to try. The taste was great but it was a bit expensive.


We shopped till about 9pm before returning to our hotel. We had to pack our luggage before we sleep because we need to check out early tomorrow morning.
