Bon Odori 2008 - 12th July 2008

This was where the event was held :









Ganny the bunny asked me and baboon last friday whether we want to check out some japanese chicks, so we naturally said yes and we brought along our wives on that day (many of you may go.. wat?? u brought ur wife along to check out chicks? Yes, we did... our wives tagged along to make sure that we uphold certain standards in the chicks checking process :P)

The desparate ape & the horny bunny with myself :











It was an interesting experience, on such rare occassion you get to see so many Japanese and Japanese wannabe dressed up in kimonos and other japanese costumes - yeah.. you gotta check this bunny out. Ganny was kinda cranky as this bunny has stole the bunny of the year award from himself! Btw, that's the link to the baboon website.. make sure you check it out his various monkey rants as well.

The stadium was really packed, there were practically hundreds of people lining up at the various food counters for overpriced sushis and japanese snacks that you could very well find from the Jusco & Isetan outlets. We had some Japanese ice cream which were pretty nice, but nothing to shout about.

The evening proceeding started right on time. Yes, Japanese are a punctual bunch! A short speech was given and the dance performance were started. There were some drummers and dancers dressed up in kimonos on the center stage where they performed 3 "ondo"s and the crowd formed a huge circle around the stage and followed the dance. It was really interesting to see so many people just dancing along. Check out the crowd!
