But my birthday was also very special because I got to celebrate it with Wards family too! It was a fantastic weekend. We had dinner in ” Kitamura”, which is a michilin-starred sukiyaki restaurant that opened its doors in 1881. We got a private room, and a  really sweet Japanese lady made our dinner right at the table.

Sukiyaki is a dish where meat and vegetables are slowly cooked in a pot and when ready, you dip them in a sauce of raw eggs. It was so extremely delicious, the beef was of high quality and since the Japanese woman arranged everything, it all was perfectly cooked. SONY DSC SONY DSC

It was really a fantastic dinner!!

We then went to the Expo park (the same park I went exactly one year ago on my birthday,,, it”s becoming a tradition!). This park has a huge statue of the ” sungod”;

The most beautiful part of Osaka has to be the flower hill;
