I've had a great weekend, went to the festival I told you about and also to an amazing shrine amongst a very beautiful forest. I'll post you pictures of the shrine and info about it my next blog.
Here are some pics from the festival. It was actually more like a carnival, with lots of people, lots of food, and great music.
 |
| Raw cucumbers on a stick! Very popular with the weight-watchers! |
 |
| Chocolate coated bananas- a great idea for the Harvest Spring Fair! |
 |
| Sausages |
 |
| Really good bbqed corn on the cob |
 |
| Kumara Chippies: with sugar or salt. Delicious! |
 |
| Is this a pet or dinner? |
 |
| Japanese Style Ghost House! Scary stuff |
 |
| Outside of the ghost house |
 |
| More fishing! Very popular! |
 |
| Cute baby turtles: these are definately pets! |
 |
| No carnival is complete without a train! |
 |
| And a bouncy castle |
 |
| This is in the middle of the carnival area: The shrine where everyone visits to give thanks for all living things. |
 |
| Posters for sale: Very popular with teenage girls. |
 |
| These girls must have come straight from a club activity. Japanese children usually go to a club (sports/calligraphy/languages/music) on Saturdays, and have to go in their school uniforms. |
 |
| Fried noodles |
 |
| And of course music! These drummers were amazing. That's all for now, Jaa Mata, Amelia Whiting |
