Two interesting facts I learnt visiting Kaminarimon in Asakusa recently.
1 – Kaminarimon (雷門 “Thunder Gate”) is written on the front. Know what’s written on the back?
2 – What has become of Matsushita Electric (松下電器)?

Can you find the person that stands out in this picture? If you can’t, look for the extremely tall guy.

Saw these on display when on a scroll around Asakusa. Lots of big Japanese Drums for sale. Care to guess the amount on the price tag?

I went to the annual Samba Carnival in Asakusa last Saturday in Asakusa. I was hoping for a great show, but this year’s carnival turned out to be a very wet event. It really poured down in the later half of the event. Before it really poured though, the dancers were still dancing in the rain. When it got really heavy, I kinda left (don’t know if they continued the show). >< So did most of the big lenses that were surrounding me. What about you? Will you brave a heavy downpour for an outdoor event?
Thick gray clouds in a distance… not a good sign. A few moments later, I could see the rain approaching. You know those times when you look at something far in the background and it’s fuzzy because it’s raining there? Well, it happened to me. It wasn’t much later before the rain came.
I was kinda disappointed by the rain. I think the dancers were too. They must have spent so much time preparing. Anyway, I hope it doesn’t rain for next year’s carnival!
