Merry Christmas from the very chilly Grand Canyon! Now that I've finally gotten my first paycheck I need to get some rechargeable hand warmers and gloves 🥶

I think the airport scanners fu**ed my film because I got all of 12 somewhat useable photos out of 72 🙃 Or it was already bad but it hadn't expired or anything and I definitely didn't expose it while changing it out or anything. Maybe the camera has a light leak? I'll find out when I develop the 2nd roll I guess.
Also check out that fun double exposure caught in Nara! Don't know how I did that!

Left my apartment. Had a nice little lunch. Waited too long for my Grab(uber) before realizing they weren't moving and had to cancel and rebook. But before I realized that I had a very nice conversation with this gentleman. He was talking back, so I didn't look crazy out there.

Went on a food tour this evening in Chinatown, Bangkok and it was fantastic! Ate SO much food, almost everything was new to me, and def discovered some new favories- like soy sauce ice cream 🍦 still a little under the weather so I'm taking tomorrow to stay in, relax, get unpacked and photos organized, etc. so longer update tomorrow!

Times have changed in Japan but don't worry- you can still get expensive gift fruit (currently this is about $16 USD, historically this would still be a $24 melon)..

That's it, that's the post 🤷

Honestly didn't do much today except some shopping, eat(sadly nothing extraordinary yet), and walk around. Got a few needed and some very much not needed items at DonQ. Saw the Umeda area a little bit. It was rainy and I got a late start- but I finally got a good night's sleep!! So it was worth it starting late 🤷 Tomorrow I'll check out, visit Nara in the morning, then go onto Kyoto
Photos:
A cute witchy dino. I have not looked him up but I love they dressed him up for Halloween!
Had delicious tea with a meh flan at a probably very cute cafe. Unfortunately they put me in a little corner high top on the entryway floor, so I have no idea if the actual dining room was cute or not. It had some vibes but they weren't cozy or inviting as a solo diner. I should have asked to move but I hate speaking up for myself abroad 🥲
Stumbled upon a cute Shinto shrine, but it was for couples and babies/families. So didn't toss any coins there, but they had that cute cat statue! And some impressive bonsai.
Atmospheric alleyway
Got some pastries and tea from this adorable hole in the wall French shop. Hole in the wall but catering to people with higher end taste- it was just outside Hankyu
Hankyu art nouveau iron work
This building that looks like it popped up from a Ghibli movie only to disappear later on

My purchases for today. The blind box figure is fantastic! They all were, I couldn't resist. Got a couple omijuki(fortunes you get at shrines⛩️) but this one came with a cat figure. Both mention water and good business tidings, but to be patient. So hopefully that means I'll find a job soon 😅🙃 Grabbed a sticker from , an artist that was busking out in Shinsekai. And the T-shirt is by an Osaka artist as well, but I do not remember the details and since my whole purchase was over a certain amount I got it tax free- but that means I'm technically not supposed to open this bag until I leave Japan. Anyway it's a kimono wearing lady skateboarding so I now have a collection of twotshirts featuring ladies in traditional dress skateboarding. When I go to Bangkok I feel like I need to keep my eye out for something similar 😂
So didn't go too crazy with buying stuff, I shouldn't be spending the money since I'm possibly homeless in 2 weeks, but 🤷 😏
Not pictured- all the snacks I had. That will be a later post. For now it's bedtime 😴

Some morning photos from . No rump appearances this time! Visit a Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine, even got a little cat fortune at the Shinto shrine 😸 Haven't read it yet though.
Also I really want y'all to take notice of that cow. He has sass. He is holy. He knows what he wants and the prayers to get it. I love him and his funny little face.

Finally made it to Osaka! I feel terrible and am starving and I'm so sweaty because T2 at KIX barely had the AC running and it's unusually warm here in Japan as well. But I'm here!

After America! Don't screw things up while I'm gone 💙 Asiana airlines seat 30k is looking pretty good so far! It wasn't too bad of an upgrade cost-wise. On my 2nd leg I'm in a normal window seat but that flight is around 6 hours, this flight is around 11? So yeah. I always try to get bulkhead type seats on these long flights, especially with RLS it's SO so helpful being able to easily get up.
