My birthday in Japan

I didn't have particular plans for my birthday, but a friend of mine had been planning to show me a cool airsoft shop in Osaka, and the day we could go happened to land on my birthday.

Other than with school groups, I hadn't done any traveling outside of Kyoto so I really looked forward to this...plus...airsoft shop!

I wish I had pictures, but though both of us planned to bring cameras, neither of us remembered.

We rode two regular trains and two subway trains to get there. Public transportation is generally nice here in Japan. I enjoy the trains, particularly, and use the buses occasionally, also, though they are a bit more of a pain, and a bit more expensive.

The airsoft shop has a testing area and we fired a variety of airsoft guns. My friend's favorite was a Tokyo Marui USP AEG (here is a link to a picture of one: http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=22325 . I really liked that one, but I also liked the Tokyo Marui P90 http://steelhawkairsoft.com/p90tr.html.

I also discovered that I have a high liking for tactical vests for some bizarre reason, but now I really want one. They had some green ones I really liked there.

Since I don't have photos, here is a link to a video that shows some pictures of the inside of the store. Our trip to the store was a bit milder than this. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjf2QF5k2sA

Was a pretty fun thing to do on my birthday!!!
