Osaka at Night

Last night, when we got to Osaka, Jeremy and I decided to hit the town. Not really, but we did go to Dotombori which is the center of nightlife here. After walking around a little, we literally ran into our new friend, Rob, on the street. What are the chances? So, we had a little ramen together for dinner, and then Rob convinced us to go to the Umeda Sky building with him. It has what they call a "floating garden" suspended between two towers that has views out to the whole city. What makes this building crazy is that those two tubes running from the towers to that ring are actually escalators. Naturally, I held onto both sides of the escalator like Borat. It goes 5 stories straight up. I got a little nervous. So, here's somebody's daytime image so you can see the building:
Here's my image looking down through the escalators:
And here's Osaka at night:
