whats cny??? 谷汲豊年祝願祭!

while everybody is busy collecting ang pows, eating this and that, sucking money from other ppl/losing money to other people and while i SHOULD be studying, i was at tanigumi to witness a 800yr old dance. tanigumi is about a few stops from my area and i should have noticed that the crowd was going to be big when i stepped on the train and saw a few photographers. when i reached there, i think there was at least a 100 people like me.. age aside.all of them are old men or old women, where are the youngsters?! don't tell me they're busy with their psps and ps3 and wii and what nots! hmph! anyways the dance is short, about 10 mins or so but they did do it 3 times and it was really cool. ok , less talk, more pics!

hey clem...

was thinking of going back actually... but in the end its just too difficult to fly back for 2 weeks coz my holidays are really short. and i decided to stay on campus instead, which is gonna really suck :(

its not going so well here... culture issues, trust issues, people issues. tahan 4 more years.
