We started the day with a stop at my bagel shop.
Then we headed to my town festival, my choir sang a few songs as a part of it.
A couple of my friends hung out after we sang together.
As we listened to music and watched the events on the stage, we met many of my students, most of whom I convinced to introduce themselves in English to my various friends. I was quite surprised to see how many people came out for this festival.
This group came for the evening – don’t worry none of them are missing any teeth, It’s just seaweed.
By dinner time, the crowd was huge, possibly more than the entire population of my town.
The day ended with fireworks.
T
he lake fireworks were incredible, I’ve never seen a place light fireworks as though they are coming out of water.
And the light “waterfall.” Also amazing, though possibly more so if the wind had been better at carrying the smoke away.
An amazing end to another year in Hokkaido. It will be fun to see what next year brings.
