On Labor Day we went to this Japanese festival at the Botanical Garden. It was huge, and tons of people attended. We were able to see a lot of realy interesting demonstrations including sumo wrestling, Taiko drumming, martial arts, bonsai trees, origame, Japanese calligraphy, etc. We also tried some Japanese foods--mugicha (barley tea), cold sesame noodles, and okonomiyachi (sp?) which is a vegetable pancake. Trevor loved it all, of course, and the kids enjoyed tasting, but didn't love it. But the one thing we all loved was the Japanese soft drink which I can't remember the name of right now, but Trevor said it had yoghurt in it. It was fun to walk through the Japanese gardens together, too.
