More pictures: The Festival, August 19th.

Here’s some photos I took during the festival in Shino (I think it’s called that) on August 19th. A lot of fun. The highlights: the fireworks went on for like two hours, everybody gawked at us gaijin, we practically ran like startled gazelles away from a group of pretty young women who said “Hello” to us, we remonstrated ourselves for the same, I discovered a new love in takoyaki (fried octopus dumplings), and finally one of the Andrew’s teachers invited us back to his home to help finish off all the sushi and liquor he had bought.

Also, I will share this. I bought some kind of robot mask during the festival because I thought it looked cool, and Lester managed to turn my shame into humour. It’s animated, so be sure to watch. Also, refrain from drinking Coke while watching. I speak from experience.

Uwaaaaah!!!

Finally, something about Japan!

Did I lie? Did you think the truth was not in me?!?

I give you a few shots of Asago. More shall come as time goes by.

Here is the full album.
