Funny, how in Japan, we call big western-style apartments, the mansion.


My Japanese speaking abilities were beginning to develop during that time then and the most frustrating thing was the fact that I couldn't read any of the signs or know where I was at around any of the Osaka region but Minato was where grandpa said we lived and stayed at.


LOLz Hey guys, BTW, I have no idea how I have like 4 billion posts since I'm fairly new to this web site. I beleive it's a huge error on Japan Forum's part.

Ah yes, home to Kaiyukan...I have been there many times.
