I went to Kobe and Osaka this weekend. On Friday, Mom and I went to
Arima Spa in Kobe. According to the article, "Arima Spa is said to be the oldest spa in Japan
and has been visited by
a lot of historical persons. As the spa and the environment are
appealing to foreigners, there were many hotels to accommodated
visitors from overseas". However the town was totally shabby, but the spa was nice, at
least to me. In addition, we enjoyed the dinner. 
Saturday, we went back
to Osaka to celebrate Father's birthday.
By the way, I recognized that there are such a lot of differences
between the Tokyo and Osaka cultures. Although the people are the same
race, the language was totally different for instance in the train in
Osaka. I was a little bit scared because they were just like arguments
or fighting. Funny, I never felt like that even in English!

The people from Osaka seems to feel that people in Tokyo speak strangely too. We can't even understand what the people from Okinawa is saying, for that matter.

Japan is such a small country but people are proud of their dialect. That's interesting.
