Another pic from our karaoke night with our new friends.





As mentioned, some pics of the people in the float at the Arakawaoki festival.

The person in the mask put on a great show.

After our day in Asakusa, we got off the train in Kashiwa before coming all the way back to Ami and ate at a little English pub called The Hub. English pub style fish and chips are always welcomed when we have a taste for a different sort of food, and also you can buy Absinthe at the Hub, which is apparently illegal in the U.S.? Correct me if I'm wrong. I know all you correctors out there will anyway, ;-) Anyway, Absinthe is toxic green color and tastes like black licorice. It also makes you feel really really weird after a couple of 'em.

For example, you may begin to point to your nose in reference to yourself, at the same time as the person next to you.

Or like poor Karina here, you may come to believe that your hands can be used in the same manner as opera glasses.

And if you have one too many, you may get a bit unstable. It takes several days to recover from this sort of affair.
