Canadians | 2004-10-15
Canadians came to learn how to dance Hey Hey Hey Hey Itabashi at Itabashi Festival. I thought the dance was pretty embarrassing. I was glad that I didn't have to learn.

Canadians and people from Japanese Dancing Club. Canadians were smiling happy, I guess they were glad that the dancing lesson was over.
We hosted one guy, Rob. He wore Yukata. This is like me wearing cowboy hat, cowboy shirt, cowboy jeans, and cowboy boots, and say "Howdy partners?"
At Itabashi Festival. I found a popular Japanese food, Takoyaki which is like pancake except a piece of octopus inside. Yummy.
Chaplin came along. He was kind enough to share his flowers.
Canadians sang and danced in front of audiences.
Rob played music while his mom tap danced.
Look at these people. It was only October, but there were already too many Christmas shoppers.
At a temple.
Is it a nut or is it a corn?
Inside the temple. This is a room where monks worship. If you take a close look, you can see the golden statue of god.
This is a very traditional Japanese room.
Outside again. This temple has very nice Japanese gerden too.
This is a room where the temple put the tresures.
Canadians got excited to drink beer in public, since it is against the Canadian law.
Cathy and Rob played many songs at an art gallery.
These are I believe Cathy's host mom and her kids. Apparently Cathy wasn't doing good job entertaining the kids. And the women with the super red eyes is my mom.
Cathy reminded me of my good friends in college. 90% of friends I made there was either education majors or music people. Cathy is a Teacher who plays music... Something about these people make me like them.
After the concert, there was parade going on.
And this parade was all about who got the best butt.
After living in this city for 5 years I didn't know there was such a big festival. My mom lives here for 10 years and she didn't know, so I am good.
Rob's friend came to visit Japan too. They had fun being here. What can I say, Rob took a super super clouded train like women's boobs touching or should I say pushing me clouded train. Then missed the last train to get home, we had to walk hours. Then both of them experienced a Typhoon that went right passed Tokyo, and at the last, numbers of pretty strong earthquakes. What a trip.
