Osaka? Oh, kasa!
October 12th, 2007 at 12:16 pmwhat are those things falling from the trees?? Chestnuts?? Those things remind me about sort-a-like shaped balls in Tokyo, if you squished them there was a awfull smell coming fro mthem. No idea what they were called though.
October 12th, 2007 at 4:51 pmThat’s what they are, Papi. 銀杏 (ぎんなん), ginkgo nuts.
October 12th, 2007 at 6:55 pmAh, thanks for that overoften.
*that hira spells ginnan btw*
October 12th, 2007 at 8:25 pmAhhhh the soooo sexy obasans …. I feel horny now.
October 12th, 2007 at 8:46 pmLooks like NHK pulls it’s online video news stories and text story after one day. (Lucky I got the video before it disappeared dessho ne? ) Anyway, it’s an annual event in central Osaka. The city crew shakes the nuts from the trees.
