Tonight the ship stayed overnight in Osaka, Japan. I had a trip scheduled which was a 9 1/2 hour trip and because I was tired after the 9 hour trip to Kyoto I went to cancel the trip called "Easy Osaka" which left at 9:30 AM and arrived back at the ship at noon. I went back to my room and got my computer and went back to the terminal to see if I could get on the internet. At the terminal they had chairs and tables. At first the logon to the internet failed but after I tried several times I got on the internet. The download to the internet for my blog worked so after a couple hours I was finished and I then typed a note to my contacts and it also worked. I went back to my room and after dinner I went to the movie "Ants on a Shrimp". The movie was about a team of Chiefs from a award winning restaurant moved to Japan to open a new restaurant. The movie ran for the 30 days they were developing a new menu before they opened the new restaurant in Japan. I went to the movie because the only show of the night was by Mariusz at 9:30 PM. He played the Electric Cello. He was the entertainer which missed the ship in Saipan. Because of other commitments he had to leave the ship that night. He left the ship after the show and the ship left Osaka at 10:30 PM.
Osaka is a designated city in the Kansai region of Japan. It is the capital city of Osaka Prefecture and the largest component of the KeihanshinMetropolitan Area, the second largest metropolitan area in Japan and among the largest in the world with over 19 million inhabitants.

Historically a merchant city, Osaka has also been known as the "nation's kitchen" and served as a center for the rice trade during the Edo period.
