Yesterday was the Obon Festival! Especially since my grandma is staying with us, we decided to go check out the festival. (pictures: me and my sister, then a random dog that was cute)
The festival turned out to be pretty disappointing. There was a Taiko Drum performance and food stalls, but that was really it! We bought some slushie drinks (yummy! but expensive) and some manju, then went home.

I really like Taiko. I think it's cool how it moves you physically while you watch. I also liked the yelling. I tried to take a video, but when I went back to watch it, it was only 2 seconds long! Such a waste.

The manju was really delicious, but filling. I wanted to stop eating after half of it. But I ate it anyway. When we got home, my dog went crazy and ate all the 栗まんじゅう (Kurimanju) that we bought. It was beyond sad.
