Elementary school festival coolness.

The kids begin performing at an early age in Japan... This is from a local community festival held at one of the elementary schools I teach at. Kids are well rehearsed, and too adorable.

This year's festival had a really kick-ass taiko group.

For one of the numbers they had folks from the audience come up and play, including one obvious-stands-out-in-a-crowd gaijin.

With no music talent to speak of, I reverted to eskrima striking patterns I learned back in Hawaii.

Bonus: it's a small local community, so the farmers were selling fresh veg. For cheap. Tomatoes, broccoli, sweet potatoes...

I had to buy extra because they cleverly had the munchkins selling some of the goods.

The kid in the yellow and white was pretty good. He got funky.
