The Clash of the Cultures
Two weeks ago, we went to the Indian festival at Yoyogi Park. After being ditched by a girl who couldn't go because her girlfriend's ex-boyfriend's dog died, we had a great time. It was really nice to have a blast of culture; it made me quite homesick. On the way there, we ran across a group which combined American punk rock with the style of Japan. In a word, they were everlastinglie. Yes, I meant that, because on the free CD that they gave out their band's name was one word. They were surprisingly good.
everlastinglie - the best punk rock show on a sidewalk in Japan to date
So the guy with the feather in his hair was a little confused about which kind of Indian festival this was...
...as was this guy about what gender is supposed to wear the saree
The all Japanese Indian dance troupe - led by the lone, valiant Indian in orange
If anyone has any idea what kind of moments this kid might be experiencing, I'd love to know
The boys and their naan
It was really nice to have some Indian food (haven't had jamun in quite some time) and see all the Indians out in full force. It was great to see how appreciative the Japanese were of other cultures - they actually outnumbered the Indians and were an integral part of the shows.

Don't you just hate it when this girl's aunt's second cousin's friend's roommate's dog dies and they can't go have fun with you? haha. Anyway man glad to hear you're having a good time. I should update mine here soon, i hope in the next couple of days to keep you posted on everything that's going on here.
hey boopy whats up. Sorry I haven't left you any comments yet. I miss you man take it easy.
What a great excuse I hate when that happens...specially when its the runt offspring of a dogs 6th liter of a dog that they saw when they were 6, on a field trip with their 1st grade class to the Animal Shelter...confusing maybe so but after hearing that excuse, I had to ask for the explanation, which may I say was totally sensible and I can see how that dog had a profound impact on their life and quite possibly could have made the girl into who she is today...did i mention they didnt even remember the dogs name, but thats beside the point, this was a very hard time for her...Sry to ramble. I was pumped to see the new blog update...Holla atcha boi
Okay just because I couldn't figure out how to attach something in your e-mail doesn't mean you shouldn't write me back.
