hibikino matsuri (festival in hibikino)

this weekend we had a festival in the place where i live. it was strange to see these (usually calm and peaceful) streets converted in a pandemonium. it was 2 days, saturday and sunday. saturday was a very cold day (maybe the colder day since i have came to japan), with some chilly rain, but anyway the matsuri had continued. the main atraction this day was "reisaramon", the most decadent character of the japanese TV. many people came to see him, everyday he appears on TV. he calls himself a "HG" and he wears a leather suit. i have seem that many people dislikes him as well.

On sunday there was the contest from Mr.Girl vs Ms.Boy (girls dressed like men and viceversa). A friend of me told me that there where some "maido-san", but when i got there i saw that they where men.. after the contest they kept dressed like this all day.

By the way, I liked that there were some kinds of food, i ate one of each kiosk. On sunday night there was some rock. a fire and fireworks for closing it.
