Candle Lighting Festival – Saturday, August 11, 2007

Saturday night was the big night out for the Aizu kids. We hit up a candle festival that was taking place around an old shogun castle called Tsuraga or something like that. It was a good experience because we got to meet all the JETs from this area and get to know each other a bit better. After the fireworks we headed down to an izikaya (Japanese type pub) for a namehodai, the all you can drink in a certain time period thing. It was a good time.

After the namehodai we decided to go to some random dance club in Wakamatsu and club it up for a bit. Apparently there was cover, but before anyone mentioned it I had already made my way to the bar and got a drink! Lol, saved 1000 yen there! w00t. People stayed there for a bit but I was getting tired so flagged a taxi and said “Bandai” lol… Not speaking Japanese here is a bit limiting. The cab was ok, but he took the LONG way home and ended up costing me 4200 yen… Oh well, it was a good night and well worth it!
