awa odori - day 1
so every year, people in japan celebrate their ancestors for a week... they call it obon, its usually the 2nd week of august, people usually go to cemetaries and they usually have the week off. but of course i was working. anyways, every prefecture is different, soo tokushima has one of the biggest dance festivals during oban. Awa odori is a 4 day festival that surrounds downtown tokushima with dances and a lot of drunk spectators. So the festival started sunday, and my friends and I decided to start partying Friday, sounded like a great idea... we ended up partying saturday as well, we had to, my roomate, had his friends from scottland over, so we had to do something... those 2 nights were a blur...
but i do recall somethings during awa odori...
day 1
awa - tokushimas old name back in the days when it was the 3rd largest japaese city, now i think its like the 100th largest city... odori - dancing, heres the crowded areas
i had to urinate so i went this area by the river, and heres a cool picture of the lanterns and vendors
hooot hooot, thats the sound of the police... auzi neil and the pigs, buu buu (the sound that a pig makes in nihongo)
my beer girls, always hooking it up with asahi
getting a good view of what the japanese are packing these days
souichiro inoue, my student, he's all growns up
the bridge crew
some club called underground, it was like 1500 yen to get in, but we just walked in unkowingly of course, it was hip hop night here, neil and i were freestyling, and some japanese kid came in, he didnt rip shit up, but its all good, even my man in japan knows who i am...
can't mess with the east cost tokishima Gz, what son
neil, me, and ladies
Chisa and her host
martins homie, antony, from scottland, im going back to scottland for sure to visit these dudes, shit son, i think anthony brought sharae to lions mansion that night... oh whaaat?!?!

awa odori - day 2
So after day 1 of awa odori, i had to go to work at 5pm, which wasn't as bad as Martin who had work at 10am, he felt like shit he said, and travis had work at 1pm and he felt the same... i felt like crap as well, but i took anthony to the best japanese burgers in town, MOS Burger, then to Kamatsu beach, after that i had to work, which was a no brainer since most people were at the festival, so i got to relax at work, but i got off at 9pm got to the festival at 10pm, which is a 10 minute walk from the lions mansion... im so glad i took pictures because most of this night was a blur...
the awa hats are nice
here's the patty wagon, woot woot, thats the sound of the police... they were clearing up the streets of drunken people, can't catch me moher fuckas...

mmmm, sunkus spicey fried chicken, i highly recommend it, i had about 4 of these so did travis, neal had 1 because he knew they were delicious, he had like 4 sets of tako yaki, that was the best chicken ever, great when you've been drinking all night, we didnt carre what we did that night, just as long as we had some chicken...
so we went to ACTY, this huge building, and we had a bunch of guys in the elevator including two japanese guys, 2 girls wanted to come in, but as soon as they came in the elevator started beeping, japanese elevators have weight limits here because of all the earthquakes... so as soon as it started beeping, we kicked out the 2 japanese dudes, and told the girls to come in, then we went to this cool new lounge...

so day 2 was pretty rough, i felt sooo shitty the next day, i had work at 1:00pm. i got up maybe at 12pm and barely made it to work. so i decided to take it easy this night, you know, drink only about 10 beers rather than the usual 20...oh yeah, martin and travis were giving me shit the other night for giving anthony the green light, ya heard, thanks for that email travis, you're an original cerino...
food of the day, tako yaki... i also had some potato balls on a stick, and tamago ebi sebe... yummy indeed.
they make them small in japan...
so we saw this girl who was just blind piss drunk, we told tomomi to go help her, because we don't know japanese, she would just be terrified if a bunch of foreigners were talking to her in english....or she might be into it, i don't know, but anyways, tomomi got her something to drink and helped her up and what not....
...so for her thanks, she gave tomomi a little keychain of an angel, how sweet is that...
it seems like everyone was drunk and fucked up, yoshiko with the kirin...
the rocket go go... this guy was the drunkest i've seen...
seems like japanese women are all about the roman reversal... go kobeashi
