After that, boss and I went for softcream! Twi and I had butter-caramel, and we sat around talking about this and that. It was fun, but when it was over, boss needed to go home, so bid us goodnight, and went to the Station. After talking it over a bit, Twi and I decided that we weren't too intoxicated to go find the Christmas market which had eluded us last year. We didn't know exactly where it was, but did know the general direction, and as we got a few blocks along, Twi suggested we follow the massive (even for Osaka) throngs of people suddenly streaming down the road.
As it turns out, this was good advice, and we soon found ourselves where we wanted to be!
Unfortunately, it sucked.
The lights were pretty on the road. They had gold and blue lights strung up in ginko trees, and also the bare branches of other kinds. The gold lights really suited the gold leaves of the ginkos. Unfortunately, at the Christmas market itself, there wasn't much to see. There were some lights, but nothing like what was on the road leading there. There were a lot of merchants selling overpriced beer, wine, cider, and sausages. Also some trinkets. Surprisingly, i didn't see many Russian goods this year. The last time we went, the event seemed much more Russian than German. They even sold beer in stines!
However, it was overpriced, it was CROWDED, the tree was a green plastic cone that looked like something from a budget manger scene in a school play. It was big, but that's about it. There was nowhere to sit, nowhere to take pictures, and the bustle of the crowd meant you could barely stop and take in what little there was to see. All in all it was a disappointment. We took one lap around the grounds and decided to go home. But then again, at least we got to go this year!
It was a fun night, all things considered, and Twi and I hope you, too, find merriment this holiday season.
