I bought a fan last night. I don't care if the locals tell me that temperatures will fall in a couple of weeks, it's still bloody hot and it will probably be the best investment I make in these next two weeks. I slept very comfortably last night too. I don't regret my purchase one bit.
So...nobody told me there would be fireworks at the festival last night. So at first I thought they were gunshots (scared the crap out of me). "JESUS CHRIST! There's a gunman in Nakashibetsu!" Then I looked outsde my apartment window and I saw the fireworks. WHAT A RELIEF! It was beautiful, and it went on for a very long time...about an hour at least. I looked at the ground (I live on the second floor) and I see a family BBQing and watching the fireworks too. And not like the old good ole' American BBQ, it's the Japanese squat on the ground and smoke up some squid BBQ. So although I wasn't at the festival watching, I still felt the Japaese atmosphere around me...or at least one floor down.
P.S. If anybody from home is reading this. Can you e-mail me photos of food from back home. More in particular, tacos and carne asada fries. Thank you in advance!
