Bon Odori~ Here we go~!
Aug. 14th, 2009 05:04 pmThis weekend is my town's Bon Odori... for those of you who don't know, Obon is the time of year in Japan when our ancestors can come back to see how we're doing. At Bon Odori, you're supposed to dance at least once to show them that you're doing ok so that they can go back in peace.
Personally, I love Bon Odori. You get to dress up in yukata and dance... but I wish I didn't have to go to my town (the town I teach in) to do it. -_- I get embarassed easily and my supervisor at the BOE always tries to sign the foreigner up for the yukata contest... We'll see if I can get out of it this year cause I really hate doing those kinds of things. (._. ') hazukashiiwa....
On the bright side, I get to go with my supervisor's former boss and his wife, so I won't have to go alone. ^-^
And for those of you still thinking about the Kanju TOUGH WEEDS photosets... time's running out!
