Every kindergarten and school have this sport festival this time around. Someone explained this to a foreigner that this is a competition about running and dancing. Yeah it's really a good explanation.

Aska with purple cap (my niece) practiced running for this competition. She usually finished in 3rd on practice runs. This time she was running 4th, and she still managed to finish 4th even though her shoe came off just before the goal. Isn't she good at running or what? Not to mention there were only 3 other competitors.

This is a show called Kumitaiso. I have never seen kindergarten kids tried to do this. Jr. or High school kids do this pretty well. At their level, the top guy would stands on top of other 4 levels of people who are standing. Some times people fall down...

This is a new culture of today and Doctors diagnosed this is a kind of adult's disease. You can see this new culture pretty much every rich country. It's called parents going nuts taping their kids symptoms.
