Christmas Illuminations - Shiodome - 2009

22/12/2009





図1　Shiodome Blue Ocean
Shiodome Blue Ocean (図1) is a 15 minute illumination event of a blue ocean with snow and soap bubbles, which comes alive in the front area of Caretta. Various movements of laser rays create floating green clouds  , the sunrise  and a lot more. Mainly the colour is blue as the name indicates , but it varies in to pink, red, green, white creating a beautiful sea world. In the little hut at the middle,(which really is meant to be a coral Christmas tree,) is a fortune telling pearl which tells how ur life partner and you will be living ever after. The destiny changes according to the color you get when you touch the pearl or so it says.


図2　Hashire!! Fantasia go
Above are the illumination in remind of the Shinbashi staion. This year the theme has become "The Galaxy Platform" where the space train comes and stop at the platform where you can get in and out of planet  Earth.

図3　Noraml illuminations
Above are some of the normal illuminations around the City Tower shopping mall. Beautiful LEDs of pink, red yellow and green would lighten up the lined up trees and little bushes along the paths. of course it is a glamorous sight.

図4　Twinkle Twin Tower 2009
Twinkle Twin Towers which changes it s color randomly. The stand at the left bottom corner of the above picture is another fortune telling device. You have to touch the bulb and the color of the tower changes to either pink, yellow or green. it foretells what you and your partner would end up like.

It was beautiful at Shiodome, especially the illumination of Blue Ocean. Guess that  a videos of the Blue Ocean would have been better to share the experience with you. Twin tower and the Fantasia train added its glamour to the " Go Shiodome X`mas" which was the theme for illuminations of 2009.

Borobudur - Yogyakarta

2014/05/06 Borobudur is the worlds largest Buddhist temple, hence UNESCO World Heritage Site. We had plans to watch the sunrise at Borbudur over Mount Merapi. So it was an early trip to the temple around 4.30 in the dark by torch light, wait for the sunrise enjoy the view from the top of the temple, have breakfast at Manohara hotel and leave. It was pitch dark in the night, not much moon. The torchlight showed us the way and a silhouette of a temple came in to view when our eyes gradually got used to the dark. With the first rays of sunlight, we saw Mount Merapi. The beautiful but vicious volcano fuming. Loved it! All around the place is covered in mist, so the actual surroundigs are yet to be confirmed. By now the temple, which we  have already climbed and waiting at the  top, is coming in to view. The stupas, carvings and statues gradually emerge. The temple is a symmetrical stupa, consisting of nine stacked platforms: six squar...

Onabe - Japanese Hot Pot

15/05/2010 It was after spending the evening at Thai Festival 2010 in Yoyogi,Shibuya. The dinner was decided on "Nabe" at a shibuya chain restaurant of Japanese hot pot. I have always loved nabe. I have had shabu shabu hotpot, sukiyaki hotpot and seafood hotpot at Japanese houses and this was the first time I am having it at a restaurant. So I thought of sharing some moments of the supreme happiness of eating Nabe - the Japanese hotpot. Beef, eggs and the vegetables  The whole table of ingredients for the Nabe in one shot Shabu shabu and sukiyaki on one hotplate finally you dip the boiled slice of meat in the "tare" and eat. This chain restaurant is in Shibuya and limitless "tabehoudai" for less than 2000yen. Good service and loved the meat.   All Rights Reserved.

Tateyama Alpine Route - Murado Station

19/07/2010 Another dream coming true. I always wanted to go there.I was collecting leaflets, pamphlets about this but never thought of   going due to the high costs. Well, luck was upon me this one time. It was early morning of 5.45 and I was waiting for my sensei s vehicle in front of  Toyama Station. I did know the plans for the day but that we were going to Tateyama. Were we going to Kurobe Dam too, or going to Kurobe Dam?Were we going to take the Alpen Route or go straight to Kurobe? Surprises were waiting. We reached Tateyama Station and I knew it is my dream coming true. Weather and information of the day  It was around 14degrees at the top of the mountain while it was nearly 36degrees at the foot. We were simply above the clouds and the temperature difference was too much to bear. It was cold in the summer. Early in the morning when we passed the Murodo staion on our way to Kurobe dam it was clear all around. in the aftern...
