Am I in Japan?
Hahaha..... No no, This photo was taken in Penang.
There was Bon Odori Carnival at Esplanade, Penang on 19 July 2008. Bon Odori is a traditional Japanese festival with dance and drum performances held to welcome the homecoming of ancestral spirits.
It's organized by the Japanese Expatriate & Immigrant's Society in Malaysia. This festival is the Japanese counterpart of the Chinese's Hungry Ghost Festival. We could enjoy hordes of Japanese food, drinks, art and dance in this festival.
Most of the Japanese wore Yukata to the festival. The Yukata is a casual form of kimono that is also frequently worn after bathing at traditional Japanese inns. Thought their use is not limited to after-bath wear, Yukata literally means bath(ing) clothes.
We need to buy a voucher to purchase all the foods and drinks
