Christmas lights in Osaka

we went to Nakanoshima in Osaka to see the christmas lights on the 23rd or as they call it in Japan Christmas eve eve. Because christmas is not a public holiday in Japan, many people celebrated on the 23rd and 24th. the christmas lights were ok but after going to luminarie a few weeks ago nothing special. We were really suprised how busy it was and so many old camera otaku (camera addicts with big cameras, lenses and everything else you can buy). I can never understand why old people always go to things on the weekend when they could have gone any day of the week. I think it's just to annoy young people.

Here's mika with a christmas belgium waffle while we were waiting for the lights to turn on.
