Milky Way festival...

Thats right..the time has come again for the Milky Way festival in Hiratsuka..."all the freaks" as Julez describes them i.e. kids in New era caps and sunglasses (even at night) come out to play in the area. So for those wondering back home, nope its nothing to do with the sticky chocolate from the uk, its the actual celebration of being able to see the Milky Way in Japan..ok so the weather is not good so we couldnt see it...in fact you can never usually see it as it is the rainy season. Ok so this festival is COMPLETELY pointless but still the people love it, everyone get their Yukatas out (summer type kimono) and screaming over excited kids (including david) eat loads of japanese sweets and random food. make any sense? no? good!
