      For the 2nd year in a row, Phill attended the Ibaraki Festival [Ibaraki is a suburb of Osaka, or at least the Japanese equivalent of a suburb]. This time I drug a long a few friends and we turned up in time to watch the parade go by. | ![]()  |

      More importantly we had time to eat things like Hashimaki (on left) and also join in the Bon Odori [festival dancing]. A good time was had by all as is evident by these here pictures. | ![]()  |
