Catatan Perjalanan

This could be the least preferred way, or popular way to reach Osaka from Tokyo.  Most sites and friend will tell you to take JR Shinkansen railway which will take approx. 3 hr 46 mins between those cities.  Without JR Pass, the cost will be about 14,000 JPY.  Well, JED is quite fed up taking railway for the past 4 days in Tokyo.

Hari yang cerah di USJ JED sbenernya kurang gaul dengan tokoh-tokoh yang kekinian, termasuk yang ada di USJ ini. Mereka nggak mudeng banyak film yang dikemas jadi permainan.
