Day 5 - Fish Market and Buddist Festival

Konichiwa from Japan! These are some of the seafood items for sale at the Fish Market. I don't think I will buy anything! This is octopus also known as calamari. We got up at 4:00 am to get to the market early to see the fish auctions. It was a very exciting time. I can't wait to tell you about it when I get home. I lots of pictures and a video of some of the auctioning.

This is dried octopus for sale at the fish market. Mmmmm, yummy! :)

This is a young festival dancer. They train all year to appear in three festival celebrations each year. There seems to be a number of different groups that participated in this parade. They each had outfits that signified their group. They were very talented.

This darling little girl was enjoying being in the parade. There were so many people in the parade and watching the parade. It lasted over two hours!!

This is a large lantern float at the Buddist Lantern Festival.
