HANAWA-BASHI FESTIVAL 2015

I had happened to know this Hanawa-bashi festival an hour before the festival started.
I wished I could know this event earlier, so I could announce to the folks who are on my friend list on the SNS.

Not only they were showing the demonstrations of the taiko drums, traditional dance, karate, aikido, etc..(as you can see on the video on above,) but also they offered the free foods, such as the cakes from Nishino-ya bakery, curry rice from Curry-tei, gyoza, BBQ, cotton candy, and so on for the people who came to visit there.

Free cakes offered by Nishino-ya bakery in Miyako.

Japanese traditional dance demonstration

Many people came to enjoy the shows and the foods

They had the motorcycles for the test drive too.

I wanted to ride on them, but they did not let me because I did not have the driver's license for the motorcycles. I had Honda Shadow 750 when I was in US. All I needed to ride on the motorcycle there was the car drivers' license, but not in Japan. Too bad.

I could have rode on the back seat of the motorcycle with the rider guy, but no.

I would be happy to ride with rider gal though.

The yuru-chara of Miyako city, Salmon-kun and Miyako-chan were there too to promote themselves for the Yuru-chara Grand Prix.

Please vote for them from the link below if you love Miyako city. Thanks!!

It was fun, and I hope I can come back for the next one too.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week. Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login. 　　　　　 I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet. 　 What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias. 　　 Well, these are my new pages: Please give your "like" on my pages. You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.

The Coffee Vending Machine

When I was buying a cup of coffee from the vending machine, it made a big sound and shook itself a little. It sounded like somebody inside hit his/her head somewhere there. I was so curious but I was not brave enough to peep inside the machine because I had a feeling that if I peep inside, he or she inside would be attacking my eyes. 　　

Miyako Autumn Festival 2016

For Miyako Autumn Festival 2016, Adam and Patricia were practicing taiko drum to participate to the Yamaguchi Taiko Drum demonstration. When I was watching their demonstration, I could find Patricia, but Adam. I was looking around for him so hard, but I could not find him at all. I thought he might be feeling sick and he could not make it. BUT, later, I found that he was on the other side of the mikoshi shrine. That was shame that I could not capture his taiko drum playing in the video. When I was browsing around, I saw one of my classmate from my junior high school. She was about to play one of the games, kan-otoshi, there. The rule of kan-otoshi game is that you throw a bag full of sands to the cans to knock them down. Then, you get prize according to how many cans you knock down. More cans you knock, bigger prize you get. Classmate: Hey, what if I make all of them fallen dow...
