Yatsuhashi
I got "omiyage" from a friend, who visited Kioto.
It was japanese sweet called "yatsuhashi " and it's only made in Kioto.
All japanese sweets are not my taste, but I liked this one.

Skyline GT-R
I knew there was a Nissan factory in Musashimurayama.
It was found in 1962 and closed 2004. Last car was made
in 2001.
This I diden't know, until I saw this plate.
Famous Skyline GT-R was born in this factory.
1969 was made first racing prototype of GT-R in
Musashimurayama.

Dedara festival
Last weekend the Dedara festival was held in Musashimurayama.
The weather at Dedara was same as on previous years, rainy.
On Saturday the rain started later on night, so we could enjoy
almost whole visit to festival on dry weather, just when the parade
of figures and dancers was ending the rain started.
There was all kind of shows on the festival, dancing, eating
competition etc. and of course various kind of foodstand.
Here are some pictures from the Dedara.

Those long things in the cups are sweet potatos coated with sugar.

This year there wasen't many new figures on the parade, so here are just few pictures.

Itte Q's Imoto in Finland
Itte Q is a TV program, I watch every Sunday night at 20.00.
In this program one of the members is a young woman
called Imoto. She makes a tour around the world and gets
to know different countries customs and animals.
In yesterday's program she visited Finland.
She met Santa Claus and reindeer, went to see
Aurora and autum colours and finally went to sauna.
In the program they also tasted my favourite candy
salmiakki.
Here is the part of the program, in two parts,
where Imoto visited Finland.
Even if you don't understand japanese, you should
watch these.
