Re:Bon Odori Festival this weekend - 2008/07/04 09:23 Chief,

In future, how about giving us advance notice on this festival.... So that we can plan our trip to coincide with this it....

Hope you understand. Your neighbours, down South, do have problem taking last minute type of leave. Then with the transport arrangment and permit arrangement to clear.

Pretty please.

Re:Bon Odori Festival this weekend - 2008/07/07 10:46 Sorry for the short notice folks. We were too busy the last couple of weeks and did not manage to post it earlier.

anyway, the festival was a really nice change of atmosphere, It was small and simple and you could feel the community spirit among the people who attended.

I will post the pictures in the next few days.

cheers

Free entrance, free hand fan and other free Japanese food samples at the food stalls, especially they will give a full bottle of Vitagen to everyone there, you can drink as many bottle as you want (but need to queue up).
