I went to the Mitsuwa Matsuri in New Jersey yesterday with Hinano, JP, one of Hinano’s friends and Greguto (my friend who was in Japan for 3 years!). It was interesting to see the traditional food stands and games (like goldfish scooping) in real life, although I think Greguto, who’s been to festivals in Japan, was not very impressed. Over there the festivals, of course, are not in parking lots and go on for several blocks with many choices of places to stop, so that you have a choice of which stand to visit to get, for in stance your okanomiyaki. Anyway, I did get to see Hinano in a yukata!

I got pictures of Hinano’s bow, both with and without fan! Good work tying it JP!!!




I also ate dango. This subject deserves a post of its own, so more on that later…



Why is there a photo of lolis and shotas =_=;
I don’t see any “lolis” or “shotas”, I just see some photos of children :P
I really hate it when people carry anime terms over into the real world (actually, I just hate the words loli and shota, period)
Which is why I’m usually reluctant to post pictures of little kids on my blog -_-”
lil kids are cute
can’t wait for the dango post!
