I could enjoy this day!

I went to Kitano-cho in Kobe for the first time. Uroko no Ie, or "The Fish-Scale House", is a turn-of-the-century house which is home to an art museum (I saw a Matisse painting!) and "authentic furniture and decorations", as the eigo guide states. Also home to price gouging, yikes! My friend and I stormed through the former foreign settlement in Kitano, blitzed Chinatown (I got a mask! Sweet!) and ransacked our way through Harborland. We finished our day at The Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant (I know! I thought it was only in North America!) where we ate on seats that looked like they'd been sawed off a fancy bed.
