				| Hey guys,  (I just thought of the title just now.. I'm pretty pleased with it!) 
 In Osaka, can you theoretically keep going round and round?
 
 OK, well, I only want to go round once!
 
 Can you get a ticket from Tsuruhashi to Tennoji and... go the l-o-n-g way (through Tennoji and then round again!)?

 you can loop the loop but  i would advise against doing so in daylight hours as osaka is the ugliest city on earth and you would be taking a greivous risk with your sanity.

				| Of course you can. I have had many early mornings taking the Nishi Akashi - Takatsuki train back and forth. No one woke me up to tell me to get off. Not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. |  |

				| According to my buddy, after all-night party in Tokyo, the cheapest hotel in town is called the "Yamanote Line."  I can't imagine it's too comfortable but still probably beats a cardboard box in the park. |  |

It doesn't shut down?  I assumed that it did.

				| No, no. It DOES shut down....  As I said, my friends slept there AFTER an all-night party in Tokyo...  In other words, in the morning. |  |

				| Well if you're in Tokyo for a party, you're probably going OUT of Tokyo in the morning, in which case, it would really be quite comfortable  |  |
