Some festival out side of base.

Some of the foods include Fried rice, fried noodles, Japaneses pizza, octopus balls, and chicken and sausage on a stick.

Kids play this game where they are put in a pool about a foot deep, then the run around trying to catch an eel. If you catch it, you keep it. They do not let 23 year old marines do this.

This guy was cooking something, when we walked by, it smelled so good, and when he got closer, we saw it was squid, never have I smelled squid that smelled that good.

This guy was writing on shirts in Japanese, in oil crayons.

Inside there was a bansi plant show, this little guy was about an inch and a half tall.

We waited around for Lance to ride by, but I think he was busy in France.

The opening to the festival.

The goon squad that came with me.
