Osaka or Tokyo
 
Which city would you prefer to live in for one year? and why?

Tsuzuki 11-21-2007 01:45 PM

I prefer Tokyo because all of my friends live there and I like big cities :vsign:

Depends what you want...

Personally, after working in Shinjuku for 6 months, I would rather go to Osaka. Tokyo isn't really that different from any other capital city that I have visited... it is just busy, dirty and smells a little funky lol

Both have good tourist spots close by but I haven't been to Osaka yet so I can't say for certain.

However, it is within easy reach of Hiroshima, Kyoto etc. so there is a lot there!

If you like shopping or clubbing, Tokyo is probably going to win hands down... whilst clubbing isn't a patch on what I was used to back in England, Tokyo seems to be the only place in the country where clubs actually exist (there is NOTHING in Yokohama, which is shocking!)

Neither.
Seriously, I don`t see why people limit themselves to big cities like this.

Tokyo because I love to be around big buildings with shops and stuff to do. Not that Osaka couldn't be fun it just I know more about Tokyo then Osaka.

QuoyaNatsume 11-21-2007 04:24 PM

I would have to go 4 Tokyo....but once you get older I would hav 2 say Osaka prolly more fresh air anyway,lol:cool:

I voted for Tokyo, but it would probably honestly be Osaka. My grandfather was stationed over there during the Vietnam War, so it holds a lot of historical value.
