-On November 8 we went to the Expo Memorial Park in Osaka to see the exhibition Self and Other: Portraits from Asia and Europe at the National Museum of Ethnology. The park was created for the Expo '70 World's Fair and remains as a large public space. At the entrance gate is the huge Tower of the Sun by artist Taro Okamoto.

-Although the day was cloudy and a little rainy we were able to see some lovely fall color around the park.
-
-The exhibition juxtaposed images of European and Asian people and how the various cultures of the two continents represented themselves and others. It traced the cultural interactions through time and included a variety of media.

No day at the park is complete without a snack, so we had some gelatto on our way back to the monorail.

In the evening we stopped by Yodobashi Camera in Umeda, Osaka so we could buy a small printer and wander the huge electronics store. Yodobashi is probably the largest electronics store I have set foot in, it is a huge bustling place with an overwhelming variety of merchandise. After making our purchase we had a tasty dinner of Indian food before heading back home.
