kobe

went there last week, and kobe is always gorgeous..

the chinatown there is like chinatowns almost all over the world though - it must have a pavilion and lots of ching-chong stuff

as well as a willow tree and dragons (that arent in the picture)

i went to mosaic and harbourland for the first time too, and that area is so beautiful and charming!

i like the glow in this picture around the words..

the ferris wheel in kobe.. seriously, compare any of the ferris wheels in japan to the singapore flyer, and you have to agree that the latter needs some serious image management..

look at the colours of this ferris wheel! bright and eye catching and nice!

 

the ferris wheel with an icon of kobe - Oriental Hotel - in the background..

the roller coaster ("which sucks", according to my japanese friend) and carousel

the harbour view.. you have the kobe port tower (i think that's what it's called) and the museum (the one with the spiky cool modern architecture)

mosaic has lots of halloween decorations, like everywhere else in japan.. the japanese are seriously crazy about halloween for some reason!

so cute!!
