Had a pretty good day today. I’m trying to ease myself out of Japan-mode gradually, which basically means I’m spending loads of time in and around Japan Town. This and next weekend it’s the Sakura festival and there’s loads on. The streets are all closed off and pedestrianised, with small stalls selling stuff and a stage set up in Peace Plaza, where there were taiko drumming and para para performances. The Taiko was really great and I’m thinking of going to their concert next Saturday night at the Kabuki hotel. I found the Japanese school I was looking for this morning and saw all this drumming after getting some oyako-don for lunch while waiting for the class to start at 1pm. From 1pm to 4pm I participated in the class, but I’m still not sure if I’ll take it or not.
