こわいいね? Happy Halloween!
I got a haircut :)
The Festival in Fujinomiya
Fujinomiya is famous for their yakisoba

A bunch of the people actually help to pull it around town
This fall has been pretty fun and full of events. Last weekend I went to a bazaar for a nearby school that some of my students attend. Then of course this week was Halloween...which of course isn't really celebrated here in Japan, but I heard of a party and decided to attend with one of my Japanese friends. It was rather crowded though, so making the most of the night we left and went to karaoke instead. Halloween was never so fun. This weekend I had two adventures: 1. I finally went to get my haircut...and I went alone (scary thought with such a language barrier there) and 2. I went to the Fujinomiya festival. The haircut was actually a pleasant experience (they do an extremely good job at washing your hair here) and I'm looking forward to my next time going. The festival was highly enjoyable to see all the sites. There are dashi (or giant wood carved pillar-like floats that are pulled around by a bunch of people) for each area of the city...I saw at least 5 different ones during my time there. It was really cool to see these because while the dashi are being pulled there are people sitting inside (or literally hanging off of) them, playing drums and other instruments all the while. Anyway, it has been an enjoyable autumn so far and I know that winter is well on its way...it is just starting to get pretty cold here. Therefore, かぜなどひかないようにきおつけてね。(Try not to catch a cold, okay?)
