Bloated

I feel bloated with water recently...It must be my 10 mugs of water per day and change of drinking habits. Okay anyways, today was a fine day at the Japanese Cultural week. No ladies in kimono except for the lady playing the koto workshop and also there's a booth that allows you to try on traditional japanese clothing which I would do tomorrow by trying on the one that many japanese men wore before. There's also a booth that lets you play Playstation 3, Nintendo wii and play traditional japanese games, also watch anime as well which is cool! Also Demonstration videos of Karate, akido and kendo, which were awesome! I want to do akido and kendo! [adds to list to do in philippines: Find Kendo and Akido Dojo].

Anyways here's photos of two days in Japanese Cultural Week!

The Koto In the Workshop



Koto Players playing in the workshop, they play 3 nice songs and get this, the koto was invented in China during the 3rd Century then it was introduced to the japanese around the early 4th Century which was japanized to make it sound japanese. It also looked like the first ever piano made in the world. Likewise most intruments are made in asia like the guitar, drums, piano and some more worth mentioning.



And finally showing us the koto, made from a extremely good quality hollow wood, THIRDTEEN STRINGS [I was in a state of shock when they mentioned 13 strings] and the price is B$5,000 [again a state of shock, but they said depending on the quality of the wood and materials been made].



So, this coming afternoon I'll be doing the Traditional Japanese Dance which is the boudori and also have some fun with oragami which I'm clearly bad at making paper into something pretty arty nicely. Subarasshi!

Also a long day again, after the cultural week I have choir practice til late night again! That means missing out half Ramsay's Kitchen nightmares again! and Less reading time! [tears dripping]

Anyways I'll be off to bed where by the morning I have a hard choice to read either Hundredth Secret Senses, Falling Leaves, Neverwhere, Omerta or The Fourth K.

Note: How kill a T-Rex, step one find a hiding place. Step 2 Get a Bow and Arrow. Step 3 be sure your arrow has a automated granade that explodes at impact. Step four wait for the T-Rex's head to come in your hiding place then fire the arrow at him or her or it. If Step four didn't work, go to step five go out or while in your hiding place and shoot the T-Rex while it's going round your hiding place. Step 6 Repeat Step four and five three times. Step 7 go outside and finish it off with a good old knife.

The How to kill a t-rex steps is brought to you by the gamer who experienced an extremely hard time finding a way to kill T-Rex by the use of his submachine gun, a rifle, a bow and arrow, and a knife.

Anyways Nights or good morning or good afternoon or good evening!
