I also like Black Eyed Peas' Boom Boom Pow XD

I went to Azabu summer Festival a few days ago.

In Japan, we have a lot of summer festivals and fireworks everywhere in this season.
Many people wear Yukata when they go to festivals but it doesn't mean that you have to do so. I don't even have Yukata cuz I left it in the States when I was a high school student. I wanna buy new one... it has to be pretty :P

It was really really crowded as I couldn't move because of so many people... actually they elbowed and pushed their way forward X(
There were rows of stalls on both sides of the street. Usually they sell
fried noodles with sauce(in Japanese "Yakisoba"),

Japanese-style pancakes ("Okonomiyaki"),

octopus balls("Takoyaki"),

steam potatoes with melting butter("Jyagabata"), shaved ice("Kakigori"),

apricot candies("Anzuame"), apple candies("Ringoame")

etc! These are typical foods for summer festival here.
pictures below shows a stall and a man making Japanese-style pancakes. (I took these pix by my cell phone)




I like this atmosphere cuz it's full of life :D
But again, it was as crowded as a train in rush hour... lol

One thing that was different from other festival was Azabu summer festival had many "foreign" stalls. I mean, there were many stalls that sell other countries' typical foods or snacks. For examle, Korean, Chinese, Laotian, Indian, America, British, Egyptian, Swedish, German, Brazilian, Tunisian, Sri lankan, Turkish, Thai, Taiwanese and so on! I had Laotian and Tunisian foods... and that Tunisian guy was very kind to me :P

It was a fun night and became memories of a summer! I'm glad we have this kind of cuture here lol
