Friendship Day

Yesterday was Friendship day at the Embassy compound grounds. There was no real advertisement for it except in the Embassy newsletter. Mike had told me about this event, specifically because it was the only place he was able to find budlight. We got some people together to go with us, but didn't have tickets. Mike and I left and arrived at the compound 20 minutes before they were going to sell tickets. Here were the lines Now its hard to see, but there were 2 lines, one just to buy tickets and then one just to get into the compound. We were in line for at least an hour before we were able to buy tickets and then waited in the other line for about 20-30 more minutes just to get in. The sad part was about 10 minutes after we bought our tickets, there was an announcement saying they had sold out of tickets. We lucked out. So we inside and its American!! You can see why:

We ate American food and drank beer, but it was soooo HOT that all I wanted was water. It was an interesting event complete with a parade and a show for the kids. Right before we left Mike decided to check out the show and thought it was hilarious. here is the video of seasme street singing in Japanese (please forgive the man who got in the way)



And finally a picture of us, to document we were out in the heat and made inside to walk on Main Street USA
