Christmas Eve in Yokohama (25 Dec 05)





On Christmas day, my Thai friend who has been study in Nagoya for about 1 year visits me during New Year time. We meet in the morning at my accommodation and go out to travel around. Yokohama is the place that we decided to visit. We would like to go to Kare musuem (curry museum) but we have to ask others on the way to be there. Finally, we reach there at noon. Actually, the purpose of the museum is offerring the visitor to eat curry foods. They have trivial history about curry in Japan including old TV advertisement. Since we would like to taste as much style of curry as possible, we then visit two shops and order different kinds of food. The taste in the first shop is quite nice but the second shop is oishigunai (not delicious) even it's the famous shop.







After lunch, we take the train to Sakuragicho-station and take a bus to visit Yokohama Bay Bridge. It is the one of beautiful bridges in Japan. Yoko (side) + Hama (seashore) is the important harbor city. Today is the lucky day for us, we can see Fujisan (Fuji Mountain) from the beautiful bridge by having yokohama city at the foreground. We knew that only some day we can see Fujisan but normally he is so shy and hides behind the haze.


We go back to the central of Yokohama city again. Today is quite crowded because it is a Christmas day and most couples go out to have a date and dinner. Unfortunately that I don't have anyone beside me except my friend :(really only friend): However, it is better than walking and having dinner alone. We decide to have Italian dinner in Cappriciosa restaurants in Yokohama Landmark Tower, the skyhigh building. The taste is quite good but we cannot eat all because we ordered when we are starving.
