Yesterday was the Takasaki Festival so we all met at Megan's house to get dressed together - you may recall that it is near impossible to get dressed in a Yukata on your own. We got our Yukata's on and tied at the right length but then couldn't figure out the obi from the instruction sheet. Thankfully Mark came to our rescue and deciphered the instructions and soon tied all the obi's.

We all walked into town and partook in the festival spirit by eating and drinking far too much. I had a baked potato with a huge slap of butter and then I had a mini toffee apple which was delicious.

This is me, Sarah, Canadian Emily and Megan at the Takasaki Festival..

Here are some of the Taico Drummers at the festival.
