Day 15 of my first Japan trip in 2006 started with a nice hotel breakfast in Osaka. I took a bit more time than usual, as it was raining very heavily. Given the weather conditions, I decided to go to Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan - a happy choice, as it turned out to be a supremely interesting visit.

In the evening, the rain briefly stopped, so I took a walk in the Umeda area around Osaka Station. I found this scene interesting that I came across in the lobby of HAL, a vocational school.
