A sudden idea led me to Kobe Luminarie, a light illumination festival which started 15 years ago to commemorate the Hanshin great earthquake struck around this area in Jan 17, 1995.
I like this event very much. Of course, we have to line for a while to go through the illumination, but I enjoy not only the beauty, but also watching people's faces filled with joylous emotions which make me feel ease...
I'm also a suvivor from this earth quake like others here. I must have died then, but I'm still alive. I sometimes think that what makes us, sivivors or not suvivors, a difference in a disaster like this or other bad events.
Maybe I'm still alive to experience what I experience right at this moment.
