The night before: Yoshi, Colin, Andrea and I celebrate.

What twister looks like after half a bottle of sake...


What Twister looks like after a full bottle of sake!


Matsuri morning


8am kanpai


Shinto priests carrying the gods from the shrine to our floats


Who`s that girl?


The song: Wassshhhoi, wassshhhoi! Wassshhhoi, wassshoi! Yoi yase, yoi yase, yoooi yase!


My students doing the taiko (and losing their voices singing the song!)


Yoshi and I battling it out. The question remains... whose team is best?!


More taiko drummers


Shinmachi Team


The Red team (I forget which part of town - nikku maybe?)



Yoshi`s team: Maruyama



enkai time!


Taking turns singing songs! We didn`t know any in Japanese, so we taught them "Ein Prosit" - a German drinking song...!


The lamp outside the town hall - where it begins and where it ends (though house parties continue long into the night!)

80`s Extravaganza


Shopping for party supplies: Sarah and Auggie - the lady in red had NO IDEA.


Such an 80`s trio!!


we look fabulous! It is incredibly easy to find 80`s fashion here - as it is definitely THE style in Japan right now (sad....sooo sad....)


Yoshi and I hitting the dancefloor...the party lasted until 5am....sigh, you see, I AM young!
