Japan Day 1 - Sumo, Baseball, Osaka delights

Wakeing up refreshed we search for breakfast. As we seem to have missed breakfast hour we wondered high above the train station to find "western style" Breakfast at wired. This was a burger on rice and some mexican-Japanese fusion food. To settle our stomach we went for a spin in the Hep5 ferriswheel which runs through the middle of a department building. On the ride Adam found out he is either scared of heights or of begin locked in a small glass cage with maniacs rocking the ride...  so this called for chill at a temple. Which was not terribly impressive as was the closed park nearby. On to sumo, what can I say 200kg men smasss with a mirror (the ref) watches on. still impressive. Looking for more food (a recurring theme in japan) we found a baseball batting cage (first time on the plate) and video games designed to give you nightmares. We wondered through dobotori and found a vending machine to order food from. I decided to get a whole cheesecake to share it was a rare cheesecake which made a mess and which proved a spectacle for the locals. The walk home took us through the classy area business men get their ego's massaged... among other things. The sprookers and hostess paid us no heed or interest which is a bit disappointing really, they could at lest try.
