Day 9: Osaka

It was a rainy day. I finally came to see my host family in Osaka.

I also met my longtime friend, Kyoko in Nagoya for lunch on the way. We went to Yamamoto-ya, a very famous place for miso udon.

Kyoko saw me off at Nagoya station until my bus departed. Bus ride was very smooth today despite rain. No traffic at all.

Girls have grown up so much in two years! I cannot believe that Hana is as tall as I am, and Mariko is really tall as well!!! Where is Mariko who I used to change diapers?!?! But she is still so sweet.
