China Town - Osaka  
 

Lunch today at a Chinese Restaurant

December 1st the first night Christmas Lights are turned on
Mako, Kenji, and YoShuMi getting ready to take pictures
Kenny was having trouble with his camera.
His pictures all looked like a dark index finger :--O)

If you look closely center bottom below you may see Doug and Bill.
 
 

6:00 p.m. - Lights started coming on and music started playing

Can you imagine this picture if your hair was thinning a little?

Dinner Cruise from our hotel

From the top of a staircase similar to the one in the movie Titanic -- Maybe a little smaller

The cruise takes us out under the longest suspension bridge in the world - Akashi Kaikyo Bridge - more info
The picture's special affect is not by design. The boat is moving and the camera is in night portrait mode.

Better lighting for the hair.

Morning coffee view from our hotel room patio - better results from night portrait mode when you're not moving

Lobby Christmas decorations

Sophistication you don't find in US
A thank you to YoShuMi for the uncomfortable detail instructions on how to use it.
