Obon Festival #2!

So I attended another Obon Festival once again! This one was the last weekend of July. I don't know why, but I think that Obon Festivals are super fun. 

Below are some pictures that Jessica, Ray, and I took at the Obon Festival: 
 Ray in the white hat, and Hajime in green, at a yogurt place. 
 Cute yogurt place. Too bad it was cash only. 
 Some cakes at a local Korean Market. 

 I thought the children looked so adorable in their Yukatas! 
 The drummer! 
 People dancing. 
 I love lanterns. 

 This little girl in red was wearing converses! So cute! 




 This was really cute, the little girl had a bow of hair! 
I will have to see if I'm going to be able to attend anymore of these Obon Festivals later this year! We had a blast though! :)

Obon Festival in Little Tokyo!

So this past weekend I went to the Obon Festival with two of my girl friends. It was pretty fun. We actually went wearing our Yukatas. It was really really hot outside. Excuse my faces! 

Some statues. 
 Me and my friend. I think it was like 80 degrees! I thought I was dying! I'm the one in the yellow Yukata. 
 A Buddhist statue. 
 Some pretty checkered lanterns. 
 We also checked out some flower arrangements. 
 Very pretty! 
 I wanted or actually I needed an umbrella like that one! 
 Some cool graffiti! 
 The tower in Little Tokyo! 
 Some very pretty art displayed in Little Tokyo. 
 This one is really pretty! It's about miscommunication, or something like that. 
Anyway, thank Jessica for taking these awesome pictures! I didn't take all of them, since wearing my Yukata and running around was making me really hot, and holding my heavy camera would have been insane. 

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend! I will try to post more as soon as I get a chance! And if you don't already know, I'm hosting a small secret giveaway on my facebook page. Check it out if you have time! :)
