Welcome to Japan!
This is my first time visiting this country, a bit nervous, I hope everyday will be fun.
The first day we wake up so late and lazily visit osaka expo city in the middle afternoon. Weather is super nice. Sun is shining but not hot at all. I think that’s why people call this golden week.

Expo city is located in (or integrated with) Osaka Expo’70 Commemorative Park – Japan World Exposition 1970. And you can see their expo symbol : The Tower of Sun.

Expo City is a large entertainment complex, well from what I remember there are mall, aquarium, ferris wheel, cinema, pokemon centre, and playground, and other things ( I forgot). We saw many family coming to this place and the atmosphere is happy and joy everywhere.
Because we came around lunchtime this mall cafeteria is full like hell. almost waiting 30 min searching we finally get seats.

After lunch, we take a look at mall briefly, well it’s cool but so so. Of course like other mall. I visit ghibli store for the first time and cannot be helped, I buy some stuffs, a bag, mirror and clutch bag :3 I’m so happy!

Large scale gundam.
And we take our time to visit an aquarium : Nifrel. Btw it’s just opened this year so I bet inside must be new and high tech exhibition.

me with my ghibli treasures inside.
There are a lot of exhibition rooms inside and divided by each theme, and I enjoy every moments so much. Especially this room, I’m totally amazed by the world hologram and sound and video, it’s total beautiful.

To be short, if you visit expo city, you must pay a visit to this place.

fail wefie in front of nifrel – only our faces show hahaha..
Near Expo City we can see Namba Stadium. Just walking through upstairs and from the bridge the big stadium will be seen easily. I like their roof design. Simple and chic. If I’m not wrong, the designer said it is came from a forms of people embracing each other (like a hug).
