Gion Matsuri

my very 1st experience of going to a japanese festival!!

conclusion= FUN!

the festival lasts around 4 days. and on the last day there was a BIG parade around town.

for the 1-3 days there was something like pasar malam. starts at around 5pm. the police closes up ALL the streets then everybody party! haha..jkjk..but there was sooo many people there, esp aft the streets were closed.

i went to the festival on the 2-4 days. 1st day was with AFS staffs and xchange students lo. we wore yukata and those wooden slippers(geta). it was kinda fun but walking needs some skills..lol..cos it`s long and kinda tight around the waist. and those geta slippers! they`re rili kejam! T_T very hard and the straps are vry painful. now i noe why girls wearing yukata talk small small steps. lol..

saw a lot of gaijins(foreigners) at the festival too. haha..especially during the parade. cos parade was in the morning, so most japanese people are either at work or studying. me? hehe..got permission from teacher to go watch it! V^_^V it was vry interesting lo..1st time watch tis kinda parade. but there were so many people there..wan breath also difficult..haha.
