				| Is there somewhere cheap to stay overnight? 
 How easy is it to find the Korean Embassy?
 
 Is there a map (perhaps on the internet) which explains how to get to the embassy.
 
 Does anyone have any good advice?
 
 Any pitfalls to watch out for?

				| The cheapest place to stay in Osaka is in one of the capsule hotels.  It is also a really interesting experience.  It should cost $20 - $40 (US).  I lived just outside of Osaka for three years. |  |

				| The capsule hotels are the cheapest and I love them. However, if you're a female you may be hard pressed to find one. 99% of them are for men only. |  |

 Good Point!  I forgot about that!
 
 There are a few that have capsules for women in the Nanba area.  You can ask at any tourist agency.  There are many in the area.
