Gather around kids! Today (which means whenever you are reading this post) I will tell you the story of the 4th annual Aki Matsuri, the Japanese autumn festival, in Las Vegas. To begin off the epic story, let me start with THE MOST crucial part, RAMEN!!!
Once the team - An, G and his sister, and I got together on UNLV campus, headed off to Aki Matsuri around 12:15pm and were stamped for processing upon arriving there, D from SD arrived later on, also met couple of friends from university there as well. Anyways, since we all had skipped from eating anything substantial or nothing for breakfast, when the clock struck 12:30pm, we were about go into Hunger Cannibal Games mode - to each their own! But we strapped in our wild counterparts and headed over to the line outside Monta for RAMEN , but when we reached the front, they apparently needed tickets for purchase. So we headed over to the ticket line... and saw they only took cash, then we headed went to the ATM to get cash, then went back to the ticket booth to get food and drinks tickets and got RAMEN from Sora (sounded tasty from their description on the paper).
Turns out, it was indeed good! Well I was too hungry to take a picture... so here is a picture taken by G instead. After having eaten, we were ready to roam around as civilized beings... more or less :P . Here are some pictures of the festival - yes it was held outside, in the rear parking lot of Rio casino.
There were bands singing when we got there.
Somehow a Bob Marley stall crept in there....
More pictures of the surrounding...
An decided to grab sweets!
He got Pocky!
And G decided to ruin my childhood by buying a Pikachu mask and wearing it... *Shake my head* Pikachu! THUNDERSHOCK G!!!
Overall it was a fun experience! Thanks and kudos to Steph for getting me and my friends the tickets!
