Since I'm not working today, and not going out to anywhere, why not I clear up my pending post.
So here is it, Bon Odori.
We attend this right after our Game Design Challenge which I mentioned in yesterday's post.
Bon Odori always been referred as Japanese Ghost Festival.
Even myself thought it was the festival, but actually not.
According to Wikipedia,
Bon Odori (盆踊り?), meaning simply Bon dance is a style of dancing performed during Obon. Originally a Nenbutsu folk dance to welcome the spirits of the dead, the style of celebration varies in many aspects from region to region. Each region has a local dance, as well as different music.
So, does it make thing clear now?
Yes for me.
Oh well, this year Bon Odori still boring as usual.
Pack with people, which make us can't walk properly. :P
Been attending this event 3 years continuously, I don't expect much from them.
Back to story, Dennis fetched Kent, Vivien, LiLi and I to Esplanade.
Before that,we went to Northern Beach Cafe for late lunch and early dinner.
We left to Esplanade at 5something.
As usual, walk here and there.
Since Dennis wants to see Japanese chio girl.
But this year seems that not that much of chio cosplay girl there.
Most of them in kimono.
On the way to the playground, we met Yeehua, Gene, Arvin, Andy, KangYee, Sherlynn and her dad.
Meet up with my babyboy at the playground area.
After that, very sien already lor.
So we go to the beach area and have a sit. XD
Exactly the same place we sat last year.
We sat there until the firework done.
Imagine how long we sit. :D
Saw a number of my friends.
First was our Yamlou No 1, Leong and his girl.
Then Billy and his girl as well.
The rest came and meet us.
Together wait for firework and after firework, we home sweet home.
On the way back to babyboy's car, me saw YongPin.
Such a coincidence. XD
Okay, as predicted, traffic jam in that area.
We waited for half and hour at the exact area.
Din't move at all! :S
Reach home at 12 something.
Let the picture be the end of this post.
