This year was more of the same from last year, except they had pedometer contest and a karaoke contest. The pedometer contest was kinda dumb. They had adult contest and a kiddie contest. The contestants just ran in place as fast as they could. Meh. As for the karaoke contest, they had a panel of 3 judges. I didn’t really stick around to hear what the results were.
I went with my friend Franklin on Saturday. It was more of an accident. I wanted a partner in crime for taking pictures at the butcher shop. On our way there, I passed by Mitsuwa and saw the summer festival stuff. I wussed out on taking pictures at the butcher shop. Instead, I bought 2 bottles of German beer and a bag of potato chips. Oh well. At the natsu matsuri I ate an okonomiyaki. It was okay. Better tasting than the one Gaja made at the Bridge USA natsu matsuri about two weeks back. Definitely not as good as the ones I can make at home.
On Sunday, I went with my mom. She wanted to go. I had a soft cream while my mom had a matcha azuki shaved ice. Too bad my soft cream was vanilla and not green tea flavored, that would have been yummy. :9 Before we left, I bought some matcha iced tea for 2 for $3. Cheap! On our way back to the car, I saw an incredible sunset and I just had to take pictures of it. Unfortunately, the pictures didn’t turn out too well. (Wrong setting! Gah!)
