buds trip pt 2

day 2. saturday. we got up and biked over to a coffee shop to get morning set with the Nozao's morning set is unique to this area of japan. if you order a drink, you get a free toast and boiled egg. so we went to Komeda and had breakfast and introduced bud to the Nozao's. after a nice morning, we headed into town to Osu. Osu is a shopping area in town and we went around and looked in some places and bud ate a kebab. then we went to sakae to go to the 100yen shop (1 dollar store) there, he was able to find all kinds of fun things. then we met up with Hiro, went to starbucks and then went to the basement of the department store. in japan, the dept store basements are full of food. already prepared food. all kinds of it. so we walked around. bud loved it. so much fresh fish and interesting things to see and eat. bud and hiro bought a few things to try and then they chased down a japanese man wearing a florida gators shirt to take a picture with bud.

then we headed over to nagoya castle. there was a festival happening in the evening. so we waited for it to open, then we walked around, played some games, watched the dancing, looked around the castle, and ate some good festival food. snocones, yakisoba and takoyaki! yum!

then we went to an australian bar for a friends goodbye party. after being there for a bit, we were so tired and we trekked back to kasugai to shower and sleep!
