Foilage and Illumination

How was your 3-day weekend? Mine was really SLOW, but good! Sometimes a DO-NOTHING weekend is really good for the body and mine. In a nutshell, I watched 4 DVD's, slept, ate a lot, saw some beautiful Cosmos flowers in a park, and saw some nice and colorful foilage (fall red and yellow and orange leaves) near my house. All in all, it was a good weekend, with no major complaints.

Ms. N went to Kyoto to see some foilage. (See photo below.) She said that she had a great time, but as expected, it was really crowded. Ms. e went to Tokyo to catch a few plays and do some shopping and stuff. The illumination photo (also below) is great! In Kansai, in Kobe there is a famous and very BIG illuminatiomn event, but also VERY VERY crowded. I prefer a smaller and more "at-home" feeling illumination in Nakanoshima, with the BIG lit-up Christmas Tree.

This week is the last week in November...Soon December, the last month of 2008. Can't wait to go drinking with Santa Claus when he comes to town!!!

Many people often ask me "Where do foreigners liek to visit in Japan?" or "Where is a good place to take foreign vistiors when they come to Japan?"
In Osaka, I have a special course which is sure to be a WINNER with foreigners (ask me directly if you want to know.) About the rest of Japan, my image is that besides Tokyo, Hiroshima is one of the top 3 places for foreingers to visit in Japan. And this article proves my point:
"Miyajima visitors sets new record"
