Obon Odori!
For the third year in a row, I went to Obon Odori at the Buddhist Betsuin Church. It was SO hot omg, I was dying, and my parents kept on giving me water after every few dances or so...I was dying most of the time, it being 105 degrees at the time. But, we did get to go out to tasty Japanese food (tempera, yummmm), and then went out to Rick's Dessert Diner..! :D My parents had never been there before, so I am glad we went--I tried their red-velvet cake this time with my mum, and it was most tasty indeed. Now, what you are really interested in, I'm sure....the pictures....
The tent when we first arrived. The man sitting in the chair is this cute ol' Japanese guys who controls the music.
Close-up of the lanterns...
Me against the backdrop of the lanters in my yukata...
Right after they had turned on the lanterns....
The lanterns and people right after the last dance...
Me, after completeing the dances....it so hot, omg...
