lantern festival

i went to the nagasaki lantern festival with my friend ayaka, which was actually a japanese-style celebration of chinese new year. so there were tons of red lanterns, chinese food and japanese people. and some typical chinese new year imagery.


like this dragon:


a chinese acrobat with a death wish


eating chirin chirin ice. we didn't know what that meant, but it tasted like vanilla. isn't ayaka pretty?


stupid


le namesake








after watching this i want to learn how to taiko. it sounds so different than i expected it to sound. it's like a traditional dance party!





making....japanese(??) food


eating japanese food


i've always liked the phoenix...this ones made of china (the dishes) and lights
