stemik 14 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 nice one Thursday....plenty of babes! Is it worth visiting the festival at night time or daytime? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I would recommend night time 'cos the lighting sets a different mood. OR daytime Odori site, night time Susukino site. Link to post Share on other sites

Dean 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Is it just me, or the lighting. But does the last 'Dream" pic have a hell of a lot of yellow on the snow???? wondering if someone after a night in susukino maybe needed relief on the stumble home?? Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nice pics thursday! It looks like it was way prettier at night this year. I heard that with the little spot of rain and unseasonably warm weather during the yukimatsuri lots of the snow sculptures were melty/slumpy and looked a little worse for wear from about midweek. Pretty lights make all better... except for maybe that "dream!" sign. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 It would take a whole lot more than that to cause offence! I did actually know, I was joking. Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sorry I missed it, we left Hokkaido the day it opened. Maybe next time. Saw it in '05, though, and agree with Thursday that the night lighting really adds something to the sculptures. Link to post Share on other sites
