It's summer and it's time to enjoy hanabi (fireworks)! We went to Toda Koen, somewhere in Saitama, a small city near Tokyo to see fireworks, together with thousandssss of Japanese. It's a very interesting experience to see how Japanese enjoy the summer by watching fireworks festival and wearing Yukata (their traditional clothes for summer). Me? I was wearing Yukata too (I mean, my own traditional clothes for summer; round-neck shirt and shorts)! Anyway, fireworks in Japan is really spectacular! It's not just ordinary fireworks that I've ever seen before! Along the streets, there were many colorful lanterns and food stalls that were selling Japanese traditional foods; it's exactly like what I saw in Japanese movie. OMG, I can't believe I can experience it myself! Although the weather was soooo hot and humid, although we were sweating like a pair of wet rats, we still enjoyed it because that was our first Hanabi Festival in our life!
