The above video is from youtube, but was made by one of my host mom's previous students. He takes amazing photos and writes incredible music. If you're interested, check his website out! (His pictures of this year's Lanter Festival) It captures the lantern festival that is held every year in Kanazawa. I went on Friday with friends and it was beautiful. Basically it's straight out of Tangled (favorite movie) where they send these lanterns down the river. To be honest I have no idea why it happens, but it was super pretty!!
I jumped down to get a closer look
There were other super pretty things I've seen, but unfortunately I don't have a camera or a phone. That brings me to the title of this page, which is Syasin, meaning picture. Since I can't take pictures I'm going to have to rely on google and my friends for pictures. Luckily I have some super awesome friends who take cool photos (and of course there's my Okaasan who takes photos of me all the time!) Here are some photos they took!
On Saturday there was festival! Photo by my friend--(Check out his blog!)
Our friends danced in it
For like 3 hours....(no thanks...not for me...)
They were so good!
My host mom and her friends took me to a soy sauce shop on Sunday
