Going to Festival
It’s not so common to see traditional Japanese clothing these days. Sometimes you see old women going about their daily errands in kimono, but that’s about it. The exception to this is festivals.

Crazy business.

The Wall
How many people here are addicted to the HBO series A Game of Thrones? If you haven’t watched it yet, you’re missing out. One of the producers called it “The Sopranos meets Middle Earth”. That’s not quite right in my opinion, but it does give you an idea of what they are shooting for with the series.
