Kobe & Luminarie

Last Saturday night I went to Kobe to see the Christmas illuminations. I expected a lot of people. There were lots of people. I expected to queue for hours. Idid wait but it was not as terrible as I had imagined! I really had the worst scenario in mind and it was not that bad at all. The hardest part was the wind. Oooohh! the wind!!! But as soon as the the illuminated arcade appeared in front of me, I just forgot about it. Plus, I didn`t know there were other illuminated spots. I thought it was the arcade was all there was to see! Therefore I was even more excited and overjoyed when I saw the arena kind of thing and the other lightnings. Had a fantastic time!!!
I will try to have a look at the Renaissance Christmas illuminations in Osaka before I leave. Not sure I can make it but I will try!!
Have been there already or are you planning to???

This is INCORRECT.

Since 'not' is a negative, you cannot use 'nobody' in this sentence:

* "I'm not speaking to anybody in this class."

This is CORRECT.

Anyway, I went to Mycal and I had some fantasssssstic popcorn!! salt & vinegar flavor! Ohhh my!!! I am a huge fan of vinegar and it was the first time I had it... looooved it! Next time I will have a bigger box! Not a caramel popcorn lover but salt & vinegar.... out of words!
