Forever Friend and long time Kyoto resident Gary, comes and visits me in Osaka now and again if I let him. Until recently, I have always somehow managed to convince him I "need" some Kyoto time, and off I go on my favourite Keihan Line to meet him for a full day of Kyoto soaking. Lately we have been doing some walking and talking, marveling and mingling into Osaka ways - of together.
I absolutely adore the moods I feel in Kyoto each time I go, and the ultra magnetism of the Kamo River in neutralizing unwanted self-concepts. For Kyoto residents visiting Osaka, different angles of allure and delight are simply wow-ful and wild.
Gary tells me,
“ I like the sense of orderly nonconformity in Osaka, and the people watching. There's a nice vibe of self expression, and acceptance of others.”
How does Osaka make YOU feel?
