The speech Contest! I volunteered to hand out the prizes and count the votes.
Went to a 100Yen Shop and did a photobooth. Freaky what it does to your eyes right!?
Rhapsody In Blue performed by the talented Rimner-san.
A Costume Parade. I led my part of the parade, and took part in a play dressed as the Japanese Flag Bearer!! Papasan took 336 pictures, and I haven't gone through them all yet...
The best fireworks that I have ever seen in my life. Set to music. And since we were given free beer for participating in the parade, I was very talkative. Its funny, but you really do talk better in a foreign language after a Classic Sapporo beer.
Karaoke with Mamasan, Koh, Max, Nao, and Ashok. As always, finished with the American national anthem.
Coming in merely a few hours (as soon as I can): the squid dance. Brace yourselves.
that costume is so great. i cant pick whether i like the funny hat or the socks/flipflop combo more. Probably the hat. it looks like the hat of a fisherman and a fireman and a oregon trail child all rolled into one.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Thanks for sending them our way. Sounds like a fun day all around.
