Takoyaki-Party!!!!

Takoyaki Party !!!

Today, Maruta-san invited many people and me to a Takoyaki-Party at his home. If you don't know Takoyaki, use Google because I cannot explain it well :D
Nevertheless, we had a really tasty and interesting dinner for some hours. Now I can do Takoyaki on my own .... theoretically :D Practically were my Takoyaki a disaster and it was said that I cannot stay in Japan if I cannot make proper Takoyaki ;)


After this we went to the Bon-Matsuri (use Wikipedia!), a kind of buddhistic festival. At this time we just watched the festival a bit, especially the traditional dance, called "Bon Odori". Because it was pretty early when we left, some of us wanted to go into a Karaoke club. So we went to Yokohama and searched for a proper location. Unfortunately, we couldn't decide for one because it seemed that all of them were so expensive that we could also go in a bar and drink there.

So what did we do? Option 3. We bought some drinks in a kombini and just sat down outside of the train station on some public seats. Because after at least half an hour of searching a Karaoke bar, we didn't want to spend more time on searching a restaurant / bar. The next 2 hours, we had some nice talks and a very smooth time. Normally this isn't a common night activity in Japan, but hey, who wants to do something common? ;)

It was a nice evening, thanks to all who were there and especially Maruta-san who invited us into his house :)
