Almost Live Matusri Blogging


gion matsuri111, originally uploaded by wwc photos.

Gion Matsuri accomplished. Drank sake sangria and beer and I still ain't drunk. But I am tired from walking 800 miles of matsuri in a jenbei looking for people I can't find. Drank beer. Keiko drinks lots of beer. A chinpira tried to fight a cop and tripped over a bunch or garbage bags. Yakisoba was eaten. Goodnight.

Gion- famous neighborhood in Kyoto
Matsuri- festival
Gion Matsuri- strangely not in Gion but largest matsuri in Japan
Sake-sake
Chinpira-thugg
Yakisoba- matsuri food, fried noodles
jinbei-men's summer clothing
Keiko-small lady in a yukata that likes to drink

Much like Billy Bowlegs but with less pirates. I brought up Billy Bowlegs last night. Trying to explain that rich people pretending to be pirates invade the city and then we have a parade in Japanese was a little odd. Alabama swamp tour? I just called it 'college.'
