Day 38.

This morning i woke up pretty early, even though i went to sleep quite late. I guess it's just something like a habit already - no matter how late i'm going to bed, i still wake up around 5-6 oclock in the morning. It was quiet in the house, because it was just four of us who were leaving today and the rest was working from 6 in the morning. It's actually a lot leaving at once - 4 people, so i guess the house will feel strange after that. On the other hand, for the oldies we are just something new and strange. And we're probably not part of the family to them...

After finishing all the letters to those who are staying (kinda my thing...), we left before 9 am, but i was happy that we could leave when no one was around - i'm bad with good byes. So when i stepped into the bus, my wwoofing days in Sasayama were over and i was off to Osaka.

I arrived rather fast, but the tickets were expensive. The place where i'm staying is quite cool and the host is really friendly - a canadian guy. And it's quite a cool place, quiet at least. The apartment is pretty big, but total strange after living in Sasayama, in a pretty japanese house!

I'm not the only couch surfer there, so i hooked up with two other guys and went to Osaka's castle today. A japanese girl and a french man - they're really friendly. And every time i meet nice people on things like that, wwoof or couch surf i think, that it is a nice way to meet amazing people, but they are just coming and leaving - no one’s really staying in your life. And because of that i can feel really complete and really empty at once, which is not a nice conflict.

It's just my first day in Osaka, but i immediately get the feeling that it's so different than Tokyo, but i still don't quite get what's the biggest difference between these two cities. Well, i'm not gonna stay here for long - i'm gonna be here just for couple of days, i'm leaving soon to Kyoto, but i'll try to explore the city a little bit and see some places... Last year i basically stayed in Tokyo all the time, so this year i'm crazily travelling! But i'm lacking some free time a bit, since i wanna stay in Kyoto a bit longer. But it's ok, that will be the reason to come back again and again!
