Pretty Lights!

My student, Ms. N, sent me these pics from Kobe. She went to the "Festival of Winter Lights". I have never been there but it is famous and I want to go once. I heard it is really beautiful. On the other hand, I heard it is very crowded and cold... There is also a cool Christmas tree and lights in front of the City office in Yodoyabashi. If Kobe is too far for you, I recommend the Yodoyabashi lights. It`s much smaller and really not big, but it has a nice atmosphere and a good "feeling". It`s definitely the Christmas season and pretty soon Santa is gonna be coming to town. I wonder if I will run into him somewhere.......
