The Elephants Trunk and The Red Apple

Today, I met with some co-workers of Axis Networks in Chinatown of Yokohama for lunch. Many Japanese people love Chinese food (or delicious food in general, hard to say where the difference is), so we tried to eat as many as possible :D In summary: Much meat and vegetables ;)
Actually it's shark fin soup oO
The others ordered, so I gave it a try. Actually no real flavor :(
Then we went out for a walk in Chinatown and Yokohama. Actually, I was already at most of the places before, but Ivy-san and Tina-san, our two Chinese co-workers, were here for the first time. So we also talked much about the Chinese culture, Japanese culture, Chinese food and Japanese food :D

The most curious thing this day was an elephants trunk with a red apple. Yes, you've read correct. When we saw it from far away, at first we didn't know what exactly we saw. As we came closer, we realized that someone had installed a big trunk balloon with a red apple balloon in front of it. It moved very fast in all directions. Actually, I have no idea if there was a special intent for this installation or if this was just art ;)
What do you think? Art? Just for Fun?

Finally something I would call "Art" :)
