Last night was so tiring! (>__<) We went to see the Omagari Fireworks Festival in Omagari, part of the now Daisen city. I went with the gang (Ebib, Adrian, Chris, Raph), Shingo, Rebeca (x2), Jennifer, Amanda, another Taiwanese girl (Eri? Eli?), Marcela and Raquel. It was a pretty long trek from the station to the riverside, where at least 500,000-1,000,000 people were gathered to watch. There were lots watching from other places, too.

here.
It was an exodus going from and to the station back, but Shingo met some high schooler friends on the train and I got to talk to them. They were cute. 笑 It was probably the most Japanese I've said since getting here. Maybe I should go to high schools instead... where they've no choice but to be patient with me since they can't talk in English well, lmao.
Anyway, we missed the last bus from Wada to AIU on the way home, so we ended up walking for an hour to get back. So tiring. I never want to do that again in my life ◎☆(♯××)┘ But I saved a few yen by not taking the taxi, lol. It was an interesting adventure. We fortunately didn't meet a bear!
