I spent a Sunday in an area of Osaka called Kyobashi with my friend from archery club, Akihiro.

We arrived together at Kyobashi station, and rode his bike to his home. Here is a shot of the bike area. Akihiro took some time to locate his bike because there were so many.

There was a monk who was sitting quietly and accepting donations at the station.

I gave him 10 yen, and snapped a picture.

Then, I wanted a shot together.

Then, of course, Akihiro wanted one.

We proceeded to Akihiro's house. Here is a picture of the living room from the kitchen.

Here is a shot of Akihiro's room.

On the wall in Akihiro's room is this poster he made about his favorite band, Whitesnake.

We then played some "catch-ball" at a field by his house. Here is a view from that field, later on that night.

Here is a shot of an apartment opposite that view.

Akihiro, his family and I then went to a yakiniku (cooked meat) restaurant. Akihiro and I had some strange conversations on his bike on the way over there.

Here is a shot from inside. Even though I ate too much, I had a good time, so I plan on visiting them again.
