Village of Happiness!

This has been the weekend that Kobe made! Starting yesterday with a multi-birthday picnic in Kobe’s Village of Happiness, which is just as awesome as it sounds! It’s basically a huge park with fields, sporting areas, and the coolest playground I’ve ever seen! Seriously the best! To get to this playground, you have to first go down a sweet slide that defies description (thus, a picture will follow). Once in the playground, there is an wide variety of equipment to enjoy; from a raft-pull on a manmade lake to a huge castle-shaped jungle gym set into the trees. Unfortunately, we arrived at the playground close to the closing time and were asked to leave by a rather perturbed security guard as the park was closing. We then headed back into the city and enjoyed a delicious dinner at a yakiniku restaurant. It was a great day with a super group of friends!

Today I made another impromptu trip to Kobe for a bit of exploration and to shop for some much needed items, like another full size towel, which are incredibly hard to find around here. And along the way, I found a rather delicious bakery with some equally delicious treats. Overall, another great weekend all around!

Some pics of the Village of Happiness. Enjoy!
