ok, so there was a festival in our street...after i wrote my last journal, we went out to see some more of it, and there was an area where in the middle little kids and adults too were beating drums and chant/singing, and kimonoed old japanese women danced a traditional dance around them in circles...somebody told me to go join, and i was drunk a little on some sweet potato liquer, so i wasnt too shy to go dance...the dances were varied, but were made up of about 10 moves each, and i had to pick it up as i went along...it was SO cool!!!
so far, that was the best part of the trip....
