Google Street View

Recently I encountered a Google Street view car. That car takes many pictures with a special rig designed to take pictures as the car drives for use in Google Maps. I wasn't going in the same direction as the car but I took a detour to follow the car. I was on my bicycle at the time so it was easy to turn and follow the car for a little while. Hopefully I'll show up in a photo. This was near Rainbow school.

Chousa matsuri

So this past weekend I took part in my first matsuri since coming to Japan. It was awesome, and I had such a great time! It was out in Ehime, around Saijo. I went with a lot of cool and fun people, and met many interesting ones as well!
We had to get up really early in the morning, around 5am. Fortunately I am used ti having to get up that early (but it still wasn't very fun, haha). It was a bit chilly, but otherwise the weather turned out fine. We walked around a lot that day, dragging the Chousa along. It was quite heavy, and at one point we even took turns with other teams lifting the Chousa off the wheels! And we were all screaming and chanting the whole time. I almost lost my voice! I dont regret anything, and look forward to doing it again!
