神戸ルミナリエ開催♪Kobe Luminarie

ついに今年も神戸ルミナリエスタート!今年で11年目。阪神大震災の復興と被災者の希望を込めて1995年から始まった行事。毎年行ってたんだけど、去年は留学でいなくて行けなかったから今年は行かなきゃ☆本物を見るのが楽しみ。人が多くて嫌って言う人もいるけど、あれは絶対見る価値あるよ~平日にいけばまだましだし。神戸に住んでてよかった~って思う事の一つ。週末はもうギュウギュウ詰めで小さい子がいる人とかは絶対行かない方がいい。押しつぶされてみててかわいそうになる。そんでもって母親が無理やり引っ張ってるんよね。。ということで、来週行く予定です♪
Kobe "Luminarie" started☆☆ Those of you who don't know about this, this is a illimination festival held in Kobe to courage people who suffered from the Hanshin Big Earthquake happened in 1995. It is held every winter since this earthquake and this is the 11th year. (Every year they have a different design!) I used to go see this every year except last year(cause I was in Seattle) so I am soooo excited that I can see this year☆ The illuminations are lightened up along 1 big street and leads to the park. and in the park, you can get into the center of the wall made out of millions of lights. 360°surrounded by illiminations!!! So beatiful and breathtaking. Some people say that it's too crowded so they don't wanna go but it's worth it. If you avoid going there on the weekends, it's not that bad. But DO NOT take little kids there in the weekends cause they'll be squashed n dead. I saw some moms taking their kids, dragging them around but they didn't seem to be pleased. Poor little kids... anyways, I'm planning to go see next week:)

I watched the news on TV! Wow, you can go and see it every year, right? I envy you so much~~ I've gone to see Tokyo Millenario, but I believe it is different from Kobe Luminarie. Kobe Luminarie has lots of meanings to be held. Wish I could see it. Have fun!

takashi,
卒論今日提出したよー!!やっと開放されます。 せっかく神戸が実家なのにルミナリエ行かないの~?もったいない。でも京都での生活楽しんでるようでよかったね。

It's definitely one of the most beautiful things I saw while I was in Kobe a couple of years ago. Hearing my friends in Kansai talk it about also made me realize how much "Luminaire" gave them hope after the Hanshin Earthquake...
