Last weekend my friend Aoi invited me over to her house in Osaka to have a Takoyaki Party. Takoyaki is Octopus mixed with some batter and some ginger and whatever you want to make it amazing. The original ones normally just have ginger, onion, octopus and batter topped with Okonomiyaki sauce and Mayo but Aois mom put cheese in some, and corn! It was so good. I had prob 200 little Takoyaki little balls. (fatty)

A little market in Aois neighborhood.

This doesn't look good at all... but it is!


I bought this little cake for Aois mom. Aoi said it was her favorite. Melon flavor I think? oh... that cute little guy in the back? Thats Zoro. At first when I walked in the house Aoi told me not to touch him cause he might bite me... in my head I was thinking "this is fucking great" cause all I have wanted to do for the past 3 months is play with a cute little dog.. But as the night went on and Zoro smelled me out.. we became BFF and I got to play with him. He was a cute little guy. Also... according to Japanese people.. Dogs do not say "woof woof" they say "wan wan"... yea. i know. its fucked up.

After I ate 500 takoyakis they brought out dessert... these things are called shoe creams or shu creams.. filled with chocolate or custard or whatever flavor. I had 3.
