Iwakuni Festival

On October 18th was the Iwakuni Festival. It was held downtown and some of the Marines and Sailors were having a both open where you could get your picture taken with them. There were a lot of vendors, performances and food everywhere.

This guy was Pokemon, but he didn't want to put his hat on because it would mess up his hair. Most Japanese guys spend more time on their hair than I do!


Ryan and his friend Chris Dunbar, he knew him from back at Miramar (San Diego)


Crazy eyes! Trying to be like on Pirates of the Carribean


Guys making rice cake things that are really gross, especially since they put bean curd in them.






Some performers


Ryan tried to get pictures with all the girls!

Peace!

Them up on the stage being recognized

The Japanese girls would try on that backpack that was half full (45lbs) that the camophlaged girl is wearing and they would fall back and giggle.

This is a Boy Scout leader who spoke english, I think he thought they were weird because they wanted their pictures taken with him.

More girls

Random Japanese guy handing out flyers

It was a fun day and it turned out to be nice outside too! Ryan of course was sweating his behind off!
