I started this blog when I was doing my year abroad in Japan, but I've since decided to use it for my travels in general :-)

Festival! i.e. Feast
This weekend it was our university festival which is called Ikkyosai which is the chinese reading of Hitotsubashi festival which would be too difficult to pronounce I think. Lots of students get involved with this and run stalls selling different types of food, including lots of international cuisine. Some of my friends were running a bar inside a classroom which was actually really nice. There was a Casino, there was wrestling, jazz bands, rock bands, choirs, it was really nice, the atmosphere was really good. What many people may not realise is that for Japanese people, a festival is all about food. It mostly involves going round saying how delicious all the food stalls look selling different delicacies. I had lots and lots of Korean food and have decided I want to be a food tourist and go to Korea just to have the super spicy food. Here are some photos of when the festival spread out into the main road "University Avenue."
