Matsushima Light Up, K-Port

The weekend went pretty well.  Machiko came back on Friday and we went to Stray Sheep for a while before calling it a night.  It was too bad she could only stay for a little while, it would have been fun to do more stuff.  She went back to Hiroshima on Sunday.

Sunday I went to Matsushima for a light festival (松島紅葉ライトアップ).  They had lights all around a park-like area that really made the trees and plants look illuminated.  They did a really good job with the light placement and it was really beautiful.  There were a ton of couples walking around though, which made me feel a little lonely.

They opened up a new cafe right next to my place called K-Port.  It's apparently owned by Watanabe Ken.  I haven't been there yet as it closes at 6pm and I don't usually get home before then but I'm going to try it soon.  It looks cool and they seem to be laptop friendly.  They have pizza too, but if it's like Anchor Coffee's pizza ($8+ and barely any toppings to speak of) I'll probably pass.

Still haven't figured out what to do for winter break.  Maybe I should go to Hiroshima...
