Yeah, there's some cool events going on in the next few weeks... Like the film festival G-Mark mentioned a few days ago...

Hmm, I think I'll rename this thread a little...

Good move. :thumbsup: There are never any Japanese events going on around here, and if they are, I haven't heard about them. We have a larger Chinese population so it's usually Chinese festivals I get to attend.

The line was too long and I had to hurry to get to the bon-odori which will be my next clip. :shamefulcry:

I forgot to mention this yesterday. After eating at Daikokuya Ramen, I did a little grocery shopping at Mitsuwa and discovered they will be opening a Beard Papa's Pastry Shop @ the Mitsuwa Marketplace on Third St. and Alameda.

Yeah, it is quite good though, it's not hard to see why.
