The Pizza Trifecta
Another relaxing long weekend spent in the city doing the usual rounds. Managed to have pizza for every meal over the weekend incuding the lactose-loaded cheese stuffed-crust Meat Paradise from Pizza Hut. By Sunday afternoon, the long weekend's worth of beer and stuffed crusts caught up with me and my belly. My stomach's still feeling a bit jelly at this point.Anyways, the weather's cooling down finally. I can sleep with the window open again without tossing and turning in my own sweat.
Fall Festival season is upon us and we have back-to-back weekends' worth of them. First up is the Tachibana "Smash 'em Shrines" Festival coming up this weekend. At this festival, shrines are pulled and smashed into one another, over and over and over. Its the destruction derby of Japanese Buddhist festivals. And then next week we have the gruelling Hiwasa "Lift a 2 Tonne Shrine With Your Friends" Festival. Its alot like re-enacting Jesus carrying the cross, but minus the whips and you do it with your friends. Its as much fun as it is painful.
