Yes we've only just visited Universal Studios in Osaka. No we aren't theme park junkies. But that being said it was a spectacular day with great weather and even better company.

It was interesting comparing the two theme parks, and some of the differences between Chinese & Japanese culture was apparent. The Japanese park and staff definitely leaned more into the acting and role playing compared to the Chinese establishment, however the Beijing park was definitely less crowded which meant we got to ride the transformers themed "Decepticoaster" many times with minimal wait.

Overall it was a fun day out and we got another dose of adrenaline before a few weeks of exploration and sight seeing around China.Read more
