Dontaku

Long day in town today, went for Hakata Dontaku festival!

All the Singaporeans in the pic - Are they from the same university as you?
 
Let's see, 4 others from the same university - one is a Master's student and 3 are exchange students. One of them is an exchange student from another university visiting us during the holidays.
 
I never joined Dontaku. What did you do actually ? ?
 
There's a lot going on in Dontaku, one of the main events is a parade. Every year there's a contingent made up of foreign students. We get a flag of our country and a placard with its name. Then we just march down from Gofukumachi to Tenjin, waving at people and the like.

Ever wanted what it's like to be at the Olympics' opening ceremony? This is about as close as it'll get for me.
