Christmas Lights

Despite most people following Shinto or Buddhist religions over here Tokyo still manages to put most of our Christmas lights to shame. Far from the switching on of a few piddly lights by C-list celebrities such as the Chuckle Brothers, self styled commoner Kerry Katona, Mr Blobby or the latest X-factor rejects, Tokyo has rows of lights, trees, strobe lighting, and geometrical shapes that would be strewn across the floor and used to garrote fellow revellers at home.

Phew, bit of a rant there eh? never mind, i'm back in the Christmas spirit now. I went to the Tokyo Dome on route back from Akihabara, there's a few pictures on the link at the end of this post so you can see the lights yourself. The dome is pretty big and is regularly used to host baseball games etc. The K1 final is held there in December but the prices are stupendous and the nearby Korakuen Hall regularly holds kickboxing matches so i'm planning on nipping to one of those in the near future.
