Cause Baby you're a Firewooork

Fireworks in the winter? Fireworks in Odaiba, my favourite place in Tokyo? Fireworks on the night of my first day of winter vacay?

Yes Please!

A facebook event group was made, and off we went after class to the man made island of Odaiba. 

  The rainbow bridge on our way there, picturesque at sunset time

Call me Auntie Anne, I make wonderful pretzels. Especially the maple one. 

The gundam statue moves every hour, but don't get your hopes up. It doesn't fly, walk, or even move its arms. The only thing that moves is the head. 

The fireworks were right by rainbow bridge, and although it was only for 10 minutes (short by Japanese standards-Some go for 2 hours!) it was incredible. Lots of ooohs and aaaahs were leaked and the final seconds were ofcourse the best. 

Originally I left Takadanobaba with a group of roughly 7 people and by the time the fireworks were over it grew to around 20+ from people who met up with us afterwards. Since we all couldn't fit in one restaurant, we split up at DiverCity (a shopping complex). Some went for Chinese, and some for Thai. My group however, wanted to save money for bowling afterwards so we went economical and chose Subway. 

Bowling pin costumes! We weren't allowed to bowl with them..but we got one bowl in before we were told it was not allowed.

We paid for unlimited rounds of bowling for 1,800 yen and ended up playing 4 rounds. I love bowling, and definitely could have played for longer but it was nearing 12 am and the last train would be leaving soon. I finally (finally!) found friends that love bowling as much as I do, and plan to make use of the free bowling after 12 am for ladies near takadanobaba station. 

But too much bowling combined with long nails...

And voila. Sorry I didn't end on a prettier note.
