Went for Toukasan last Saturday. Toukasan is this yukata festival that's held
in Hiroshima City every June. I actually went for Toukasan once 3 years back
when I was here on internship.
There were lots of girls in yukatas but not guys...WHY???! Where's my eye candy?!
Sleeping on the job.
At Enryuji! There was a freaking queue to enter the temple and seriously you cant really do anything in there unless you're willing to spend money(1000yen for an uchiwa) or willing to go into the huge sea of people.
Mango-ame, or candy-coated mango. Wanted to get candy-coated apples but it was like 300yen for a freaking small apple and it's difficult to share an apple between two people so we got the mango one instead. Still expensive but at least we could each get a piece.
Went to this really cool restaurant for dinner! I couldnt figure out how to use the tap in the bathroom and had to ask for help...wtf.
Motsu-nabe! Motsu-nabe is like pig/cow intestines nabe. I've never liked eating intestines before coming to Japan but now I love it so much~! So oily but delicious~Finished everything...including the soup!
The parade started while we were eating and it was people mountain people sea!!!
Really wanted to drink something after dinner so we got beer(The most popular drink in Japan no matter when...lol)! Were too cheapo to get the overpriced beer at the stalls so we decided to queue up at Family Mart.
Drank while waiting for Caity to come and we basically made lots of noise outside Parco. Luckily it was Toukasan so everyone else was noisy too :D
In the queue for purikura! Had to queue for around half-an-hour for purikura...wtf.
Bon-odori!
Asked my friend to buy me something from the yatai and he said yes provided that I was willing to take photos. I was like "Huh?" at first and finally realised what he meant when I saw the strawberry-chocolate banana. All these for a 200yen overpriced banana.
I'm the only one without yukata :(
I love Japan's purikura machines. Auto makeup!!! Lol~
