atami

18th of Aug, 2001ce* in: diary

Met up with Dave, sayuki and her pal at Sagami Ono. We were all kitted out in Japanese clothing as we were going to Atami that evening, to watch the fire works (hanabi).
Many Japanese women wear the traditional Kimono looking Yukata (a light summer version of the Kimono), less but some men also wear this, in sleek blue or black designs. The womens designs are usually colourful detailed with birds or flowers in silhouette.
A large population of the tractional Japanese clothing for men sticks with Jinbe though, which is what I was wearing, we were out shopping for one, for Dave!

It took us a few hours to get to Atami (which is a sharply descending seaside town), where we bought enough beer to last the evening and headed off to the beach! Our main reason for doing this is that its pretty much the end of summer now, last chance to wear our Japanese clothing.

Dave ran into the sea, when we were drunk and had our fill of fireworks, which were staggering. He soaked his dragon motif Jinbe down to the bone, funny, in a ridiculous way!
Habitual Karaoke ensued, with my epic take me down to paradise city taking the finale.
