  這次因為兒子的「犒賞」，因而造訪這座滿街「旅人」的都市！ 2019/06/25踏上了這個城市，我是第一次來「兒子來了第二次」⋯⋯ Ps；我們母子倆「自由行3天2夜」 班機降落️在「海上的關西機場」通關後；兒子帶領了我去搭往道頓堀的「南海電車」，我們要下車的地方是末三站的「天下查屋站」！ 辦理好入住後兒子問我累不累，便慢慢散步往「道頓堀」的方向去。 走到「心齋橋」便已經是「晚上7點多」，真的是滿坑滿...  more »

  This time because of the son's "love", thus creating this street "traveler" city! 2019/06/25 Set foot in this city, I was the first time that i came to "The Second Time" to Ps落️; The world check the house station"! After adjusting for my check-in, I was tired, so I took a slow walk in the direction of the "Dao Yu". Walking to the "heart" is already "more than 7 pm", is really the people of the pit valley, the shop, and there are those travelers must take pictures of the "runner kanban" - the crowd, see the shops, the road push must eat food. Can only use "eye-watering" to describe this city fried, boiled, roasted, there is something, only afraid of your one "belly" is not !!! It doesn't mean to make sure you need to build it again next time.
