Bon Odori

Last night I went to Bon Odori following my club, Taekwon-do. I reach the school at 4.15pm and the bus takes off at 4.40pm something. My club order 3 buses and bring other non member and senior to the festival.

As one of the AJK, I handle a bus with 43 members. Hop on the bus, give announcement, remain them to take care themselves, give them our teacher’s phone number and many many more. Then finally I can sit down and chat with Lee Ping.

After a little jam, we finally reach the stadium. Actually this is not my first time to Bon Odori. I use to go to Bon Odori once when I was little. I go with my mom and cousin and you know with parents….. many things you can’t do and can’t play freely.

So back to this time Bon Odori, I take my mom advise go to hunt for food first. So I and Lee Ping go to hunt for foooooood!!!! First we try the Japan ice-cream then the 章鱼烧. We oso eat SOBA my favorite food and onigiri. Wahhhhhh!!!! OISI!!!!! They all are really really very very nice.

The stage is in the middle of the field and there are drums on it. Ya, before that we get beautiful paper fan at the enterers. Then we find a place to sit and try our food. Then Sue Yin finally reaches and joins us. Then we continue our window shopping and look around.

Paper Fan


There are many people wearing Yukata 浴衣, children, woman and man. Yaaaaa, tell you guys I saw a man about 20 something wearing the yukata with short that kind are dam HANDSOME. Waaaaaa!!!!!!!

I wish I can take his photo~ Wa~ handsome ah!!! Then about 7pm the drum performance started. After that the dance starts. Three of us dance for 2 round then Lee Ping suggest us to take photo with those Japanese that wear yukata.

Since I’m the only one among us can speak Japan language so I’m the one who ask them to take photo with us. Hahaha…my Japan language can finally be use.

Then something unexpected happen. The Japanese praise my Japan language is so GOOD…..Waaaaaaaa!!!!! Really? Oh, I’m so HAPPY. I can’t believe that.

Then we continue walk around. Then Lee Ping went home and I and Sue Yin walk around. Then with a 冲动 I want to drink BEER. But the all foods are finish sold. So we try our luck and went to the beer corner.

Lucky for us there are 3 more can left we then take out our money. In the mean while a college looks student take the last 2 cans. I then argue with him. Then I grab the one of the can from the uncle who sells the beer and 塞 the money in the uncle hand.

“I had pay and this is my.”

With my 战利品 we walk happily away. Can you imagine the face on the student? All I want to say is !!!!Then we enjoy our beer and take some photo. The conclusion is 抢回来的东西果然比较好.Hahahaha!!!!!!
