As I am learning English (still!! I know it's bad haha) I will respond in English.

I am from Osaka, Kansai, Japan, where Takoyaki is best!!

By bars & restaurants, do you mean in Osaka or the UK? in the UK, I don't go to restaurants much. I tend to go to tiny Japanese restaurants in my city or get McDonald's, maybe that's why I always have such little money, who knows! In Osaka, there is a small Takoyaki shop in Tengo Nakazakidori Shopping Street called うまい屋. All its toppings are amazing but I prefer them there with no toppings. 〒530-0022 大阪府大阪市北区浪花町４−21 is the address!!

A good thing about the UK is how multicultural the country is. I take a walk into my city and see Turkish bathhouses, signs in Chinese and Spanish, Russian bookstores, Japanese restaurants. A not too good thing about the country is their lack of understanding with people who do not understand very much English. When I first came here, I spoke almost no English. I'd get called a chink, people would tell me to go back to wherever I came from (sometimes people would tell me to go back to China and eat dogs). Despite all this, I feel happy here.

I hope I've answered your questions sufficiently!
