Sooooo here are some pictures of the Ebisu Festival in Japan.
Soooooo Ebisu Festival was pretty much a bunch of different kinds of food stalls haha. They had everything here... surprisingly the sausages were really good (as you can see my friend eating--- which she would kill me if she knew this was up hahaha). They also had Crepes, squid, okonomiyaki on a stick >_> and lots of other deliciously weird things. They had the traditional fish catching game and this one ceremony which I didn't really get to take pictures of because I didn't have a good view.
Oh and to be honest the first time I heard people talking about the Ebisu Festival I thought "oh 'ebi' (aka the word for shrimp in Japanese), there will be lots of shrimpy things to eat" ^_^... hmmm nope. Ebisu means god of fishing. So there were lots of squid and fish and what not, but no shrimp, like at all... but I digress.
So back to talking about the festival. There wasn't much else to do other than eat lots of good food and people watch, which is by far one of my favorite things to do in Japan, but I will save that for another blog post. The only downside (other than not having shrimp of course) was that I felt like I saw the same food stalls over and over and over and over... like why not have some more options. It was like squid on a stick or... squid on a stick. Hmmm decisions decisions.
Either way though I am living in Japan which is more than a dream come true. So I should definitely count my blessings, since many will never get this opportunity. But hey the festival was fun and the food was good. That is all.... ^_^
