Not really knowing what to do here for Christmas, we decided to check out this light-up show i had heard about. There is a famous bridge down in La Boca (the really rough area of town) and some big artist/light designer put on last night and tonight a big fancy light show with music and then some fireworks. I like fireworks and Ulala, in her child-like innocence often gets excited about them. So we took a cab and the driver warned us about what a dangerous area it is and told us to watch our money. We thanked him and followed the crowds to the bridge where we watched the show. The light-up show was weird but interesting. A little too minimal for my taste and i didn`t really know where it was going. It involved some fire-sirens (loudly contributed by a truck we were standing much too close to), some strange super heavy bass and mechanical music, and lots of twisting, turning coloured spotlights. I kind of expected more - but that`s the trouble with expecting anything. The fireworks were good. We were much closer than we usually are to fireworks in Japan so the booms were deafening and there was zero time delay. I didn`t take any pictures of the coloured lights on the bridge because they really wouldn`t turn out - the lights were much too dim for my camera - and i did take a couple pictures of the fireworks but they are pretty blurry. After the show we wandered our way with the crowd for a while then took a bus to near our place. Once home we decided not to out clubbing as we had previously planned. we are getting old. Ulala is worried we are boring and i don`t know how to comfort her when i am also worried. Meh.
