Osaka Castle

While we were at the Osaka Castle, Mark and I were figuring out how we can get a photo together. The "self-timer" option wasn't viable since the camera was too big and it would be difficult to perch it on the floor. The "cellphone shot" option won't work unless we had arms that could extend to 20 feet. Thus, we scouted around for fellow tourists who looked nice enough to take our snap.

We surveyed the area and spent a couple of minutes looking for prospective paparazzi. Then we chanced upon an old lady with a professional looking camera like what I had, and Mark approached her. Thankfully, she was nice enough to oblige and she even had to kneel down to get a good angle. Yup, she was definitely passionate about pictures. She even took two shots, and asked us to check if we're happy with it. And we were.

So thanks to the nice Asian lady, we have a photo in front of the Osaka Castle.



Next time, we should really bring a professional tripod.
