Well, we had the "world famous" Urayasu fireworks at the end of July, my uncle Luc came over from Canada and I witnessed some kiddie sumo and took a photo with a real sumo wrestler.
Sumo Outing Last Saturday (Aug. 23), we headed somewhere in Tokyo... hmmm.... can't remember the name of the suburb exactly, but we saw some kids having fun at pretending to be sumo wrestlers. They all tried very hard, but none were exactly Asashoryu if you know what I mean. There were a couple of good bouts, a bit of laughter, a few tears and a few bruises.
The highlight though was having the chance to take a photo with a real Sumo wrestler. Trust me, this guy was one of the skinny ones. Also, I don't know why we use "wrestler" in English. "Pusher" might be more appropriate.
Uncle Luc's Visit
From August 10 to the 16th, my uncle Luc came over from Canada for a quick visit. It was nice to see him. We went to Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kobe together. My favourite moment was taking the bullet train and the tram in Hiroshima. Oh yeah... we also caught up with grandma in Kobe, and most important of all, uncle Luc bought me a train before going back to Canada. Can't wait to see him again. He's off to Afghanistan next month, so we wish him all the best and want him to stay safe.
Urayasu Fireworks - 浦安 花火
At the end of July, we went to see the Urayasu Fireworks in Sogo Park with my friend Yusuke, who attends the same day-care as me. He brought his parents along too, I guess it was a bit late... We all had a good time. The fireworks were great and we had just as much fun running around and having mom & dad run after us. They needed the exercise anyway.
