Stuff I've Seen - Huis ten Bosch Edition

So I caught the train down to Huis Ten Bosch for the evening.

  

They have their own express train service

In the green car just behind the driver

Huis Ten Bosch is a little over an hour by train from Fukuoka

The station at the far end.

Huis Ten Bosch is a Dutch Themed Theme Park

I didn't pay to go into the theme park.

I paid way less to sit in the Car Park on the Foreshore

They had a giant TV set up playing smooth jazz

These guys had paid extra for seats with room in front to set up a tripod.
There were some food stalls behind them.

After sitting around for an hour it started to get dark.

Then a Japanese Lady appeared on the TV

And then the show started.

A display of over 20,000 fireworks

Put on by the two teams that had won the World Fireworks Technicians' Contest.

The show was split into two halves
The first being displays set to western music.

.The best of these was probably this one:

It is set to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, so it may not survive the YouTube algorithms...

The second half was set to anime theme songs.

For the Doramon theme song they even had Doramon face fireworks.

It's a shame about my finger in this one, but I was watching the fireworks, not whether I was recording them good.

If I'd wanted to worry about that, I'd have paid for a camera seat... And a tripod... And a video camera that isn't my phone...

After two hours of fireworks it was time for the very cold walk back to the station
and the train back to Fukuoka.
