Obon service
When we went to Izamiya recently I took a look at their bulletin board and managed to catch a glimpse of Obon service organised by the Steveston Buddhist Temple happening on Sunday, so decided to go check it out :3
Took me about half an hour to walk there lol
Gotta buy tickets to eat, drink and play games and they take cash only ^^;/
Part of the food selection has been made to cater more to the Canadian’s tastebuds (there’s cotton candy, hotdog, beer ^^;)
I was too lazy to queue up for the ricebowls (Japanese curry/and chicken karaage I think) so opted for gyozas instead… verdict? I won’t pick that again if I attend it again LOL! I should have tried something from the Bakudanyaki vans instead, not sure what I was thinking lol maybe was just too lazy to join a long queue ^^;
Center stage where dancers will form a circle around ^^
A lot of people brought their kids dressed up in Yukata, totemo kawaii ^O^
Some lovely moms and granmas, also dressed in lovely Yukatas danced along in the circle :)
I did not stay too long as I need to go home to feed the furkids :P It’s really nice to see all the colourful yukatas, it was definitely the highlight of the service. ^^
I brought a small doll – Mokotan with me this time ^^
Nice photos of the event and the gyozas looks really delicious XD
unfortunately the gyozas does not taste delicious ^^;;;
Sooo cute and relaxing! :) And the gyoza do look nice despite not so good in taste >.~
Hope everything’s going well! Miss you and your cat and your artsies and dolls! ^^
Aww and your blog format reminds me of mine waaa good times good times :D!!
Hello stranger :P Not sure if I would call it relaxing but seriously the little kids in yukatas are very cute lol. Hope all’s well with U too ^^
