Bon Odori 2008
by KaHoongChai ~ July 20th, 2008. Filed under: Japanese Food, KaHoongChai's Diary.This was my visit to Bon Odori 2008 at Shah Alam (Address not sure) at 12th July 2008 (Saturday). There were crowded with a lot of peoples, Japanese, Chinese, Malay (I don’t see any Indian there). Bon Odori is something like memorial ceremony for Japanese, it’s just like our Chinese’s “Cheng Beng” (hokkien).
The place was open at 5pm, but the memorial ceremony start from 7pm - 10pm. So we (my friends and me) reached there at about 6.30pm, and the memorial ceremony started at sharp 7pm. Japanese very punctual !!
* There were few Japanese children present their perfomance with the drums.
* Oh my god ! There were a lot of peoples, what they did here ? Queeu-ing and buying food lor .. We are one of them too.
* Sushi King. The place was damn small but Sushi King sold their Sushi here. See how they ate ..
* Sushi King, all peoples standing there and enjoy their Sushi, but really enjoy bor ??
* We were queeu-ing from day until night. The peoples kept coming, full already lar !!
* This was what the food we queeu-ing for about 1hour !! Called “Zhang yu Shao” (Mandarin). My friends said very nice before we bought it, but all said “damn” after eat ! Expensive + bad ! Rm7 per string !
* This is what i mentioned just now. “Zhang Yu Shao” (1hour bad food) ! Rm7 per string !
* We took photo together. lol ! Only my fan is different face, i now only realize haha !
* My friends said i not dare to ask Japanese Family to take photo together, then i did it !! Haha..So we took photo together with one of the Japanese Family !
Tell you the truth, i’m not very enjoy the Bon Odori, because there was crowded with peoples and very hot ! But I enjoy come out with friends lar =)
