Shinsaibashi/AmeMura
Decided to revisit one
of our old haunts tonighy for probably the last time :( Uncle
Steven's TexMex Restaurant and Jellyfish American Bar.
The latter was the sight of the infamous Girls' Night Out for
those of you who heard that story ;) Both of these are located
in AmericaMura..aka America Village, called America
Town in the infamous Simpson's episode.
For those of you not
familiar with the area, AmeMura is the place to go if you want
to see Japanese youths attempting to be American..or African depending
on their mood. It's one of the night life areas in Osaka and has
some cool shops and restaurants. And of course, some good photo
ops ;)

Cosmetic Place,
where you can also find Enjoy Place and Relax
Place. This is a sign for the wonderful place in
Shinsaibashi Station. |
 |
This is on
one of those electronic sign boards. The first frame says "STOP"
the second, "AIDS" and the third...well..see for yourself
and use your imagination. |
 |
This is the
reason why students tell me, when I show them a photo of NY's
Lady Liberty and ask where it is, they tell me Osaka!
This is one of the landmarks of AmeMura. |

Another landmark
of AmeMura, Tom's House, marked by a scary clown. |

Really, what
else would you expect to find in the heart of AmeMura!? (Note,
photo quality not that great) |
