• I saw my first Japanese fireworks, and it was incredible! The festival atmosphere was so much fun, and it was great spending time with Kumiko's brother and his family (especially their super-cute son Daichi).
• Believe it or not, I actually survived my first sento (public bath) experience! I'm sure I will never be in another room with more naked people in my lifetime. It was actually really wonderful and such a great Japanese thing to do!
• We went to Tokushima for the Awa Odori festival, which was too magical for words - I will definitely try to do this justice in a long description next week!
