The festival was very fun. The first Day wasn't so great tho. It rained..no POURED all day. But I went out anyway. But I came in early because I didn't want to get soked. The Following day was alot more fun and we got to listen to the bands play and watched the dance teams perform. The most hilarious thing was an odd perfrormance by the Hiphop club..that was bizzare. I only filmed the Japanese stuff tho. Watching Born and bred Japanese girls attempt to "get down" hip hop style was too painful. The food stalls were great. I had some Kimchi pancake. That was delicious..Kimchee is the best flavor. Although Kimchi is korean not Japanese..it's very popular. They also had "curry" (if you can call it that) and Naan. I don't really mess with the Japanese rendition of curry, it leaves SO much to be desired. Of all the different countries' versions of curry I've tried, Japanese "Kuri raisu" is at the bottom of the list. I also went back to Akita-shi. You know you can find some of the coolest (and cheapest) stuff at second hand shops. I got this cool shirt for 1000 en (roughly $9.50). They had some other cool stuff but my huge Amazonian shoulders couldn't fit into any of it. This shirt HAS no shoulders so that fixes things altogether. Today I had an oral exam in Japanese. I think I did well. I got there early and finished early. Tomorrow I'm gonna see if I can get Ko to do my hair. He already did Oluyimi's hair and it looks really good. Yumi can do hair too although her designs aren't as creative as Ko's.
