Am I the only one who now wants to watch an anime about McDonald's employees? So cute!

It’s International Women Day and I decided to write about something every women going to Japan should know. The stalking problem. Something that a two week turist haven't probably paid attention to in such extent as a long term resident. Remember how in anime sometimes there is this creepy stalker girl/guy character who is usually a harmless comic relief? Well, it’s not just writer’s imagination, it’s an actual problem. One I unfortunately saw a glimpse of myself.

Usually people try to find a group to do something: whether it's clubbing, going to a concert or travelling. It's natural and understandable: the more the merrier after all! But sometimes during my stay in Japan I had some free time while all my friends were busy so I had to choose: sit in my room by myself, or go out and do something. Every now and then I went sightseeing on my own. After a while I realised that while sightseeing in a group has a lot of perks, doing it alone has some advantages too, and I learned how to enjoy it to it’s fullest. In the end, it’s all about the attitude. 

Evening was getting close, but there was still so much to see in Osaka! Next stop: Umeda Sky Building and the amazing Floating Garden Observatory. By then I’ve been in a few observatories and towers in Tokyo, but this one is still my favourite.
