I went to the 33rd Bon Odori festival last saturday
(too busy on study , no time to blog it, LOL)
In case u don't know what is this festival all about,
"Bon Odori (ηθΈγ, meaning simply Bon dance) is an event held during Obon.
It is celebrated as a reminder of the gratefulness one should feel toward one's ancestors."
In Japan , of course.
As in Malaysia,
Bon Odori Festivals are also celebrated every year in Penang and at the Matsushita Corp Stadium in Shah Alam ,Selangor
It is held mainly to expose locals to a part of Japanese culture instead of Buddhism,
the festival provides the experience of a variety of Japanese food & drinks, art and dance.
Bla...Bla... Bla.....and the "interesting" stuff continues.....
4 on the dot ,me and my frens arrived at the Matsushita Stadium ,
we were told by the so-called "tour guide" that the gates only open after 5.00 p.m.
WTF , have to wait for an hour??
Not really , u can actually sneak into the stadium but u won't get the bon odori fan.....
which u can get 1 anywhere around the stadium......on the floor...LOL
After we went in, i saw a huge stage and there was dancers on the stage rehearsing,
under the Sun,
Poor dancers , Thx for the performance though
Anyway,i saw this long queue in front of the"ice" stall
at the very first moment we went into the vendor's area
After 2 long hours ,the queue still looks like this
I admit i am a bit exaggerating , but i just don't understand,
y would anyone want to queue up for so long just to buy some ice flakes with some syrups on it?
and it costs RM4 !! which is a lot for some ice with some syrups on it .
In case u wan to see what it looks like,
I've tried one of these last year on the same occasion and location .
It is tasteless , it taste like ...well.... ice, to be honest.
It just don't worth it.
As the sun goes down , the cultural dance session began.
Sadly though , i was to busy on dancing and forgot to take some pictures, LOL.
Conclusion ,
i really have a lot fun there, it is truly joyous way of spending an evening.
Hopefully , me and my frens can go there together next year,not by the stupid bus ofcourse.
