Last days in Japan!

And to start in beauty with my last week in Japan, here is a masterpiece! At school we have written a story and then we have done a movie with it!
I let you enjoy the acting, especially mine. I have to say, I will never be an actress!

 

After my farewell to Fukuoka and Nagoya I was one week in Tokyo, mainly made of: eating, shopping and onsen!
This is at Paul a french bakery, just like at home!
And of course I went to my favorite place in Tokyo: Asakusa
By night it is just beautiful!
And if you are wondering of course I had the taiyaki before that!
one more question? Of course I went to a sento after that!
Really great one!
And this I had to take a picture, because I always see them.
They just scared me, look at the face of the things, horrrible!
I told you food!
Udon with something, delicious
Vietnamese lunch, excellent
Very nice coffee but not for me!
And this was on the way to another onsen, very nice architecture
and on the way back to the onsen, yeahhhhh melon soda!
And that onsen was pure paradise! With silk bath, aroma bath, inside outside, just love it!

Here some nice lunch with fish, I need to eat a lot of fish because in Mongolia, well this is more meat!!!
And then in Iidabashi there was a matsuri, oh lucky!
First visit from the temple
I love these lamps
There you pick one and this is telling you your future
And that's the matsuri colorful as usual!
This was one for children
all of them signing and dancing
dressed differently depending on their school
I just let you look!

These ladies were very nice!
And then I will finish with a yakitori dinner.
Meat stick, just delicious
and this is a pork stew!
Now Japan is finished! Tomorrow I am in China, a different world!
But still very hot …

A day in Nagoya

Last night after the sumo tournament I met my friend in Nagoya.
We went to a very nice restaurant!
Hum oishii!
And today we met again!
This is an advertisement for the sale at a department store!
A very interesting building near the train station
and the city is also full of art pieces.
A scary one!
romantic!
For a restaurant but also kind of art piece!
and this is another view of the trains station
for our lunch we had some moshi for the desert, I just love it!
This is the planetarium, not been so far!
 I like this one!
And after lunch we went to Oktoberfest!
Yes this is in summer time in Japan, but you have everything beer and sausages!
It was crowded and really really hot!
But nice!
and more sausages!
After a small rest in a department store with air-conditioning, we went to a festival in Ozone ( name of the place!)
And there there was some traditional japanese dancing, mainly done by old ladies
But the crowd was participating with  real pleasure, men, women , old and young!
And after that back home exhausted!
Tomorrow direction Tokyo!

Nagoya basho!

So this morning very early I left Fukuoka, bus t and subway to the airport, flight that I don't remember because I was sleeping and then finally sumo!!!!!!
But first some free present at the sumo stadium, water and cracker, very nice right?
And there here just a few pics!
This is osunaarashi (stand storm) from Egypt, first that that I see him fighting, but the guy is impressive!
Really massive!
I think he will go far, but well this time he lost…
But still very good results!
And today was the day before the final day so as it is written this was full house!
Masunoyama, one of my favorite that has a lunge problem, after a big fight this is the result.
It looks so terrible each time….
Kaisei the Brazilian lost and was quite disappointed!
And this ladies and gentleman was the hammer fight, Hakuho the yokozuna against Kisenosato.
And even if you don't see :-) the yokozuna lost!

In this case the stadium go crazy and everybody throws the cushions, even if this is strictly prohibited!
I just love it!
Here the winner!!!!
A general view of the cushions fly!
It was really a great day, with nice fights and for the real fans more here
