Tokyo Bay Fireworks

Yesterday night we went over to Mike's boss' house to watch the annual fireworks over Tokyo Bay. He lives on the 48th floor and had a great view. The whole project was invited and I got to meet everyone Mike works with. Every summer, Japan does a series of festivals that includes spectacular firework displays. I mean they go all out and its amazing. I didn't believe anyone when they said the fireworks last about 1.5 hours, but sure enough, they did last that long and they were FANTASTIC! In true Japanese tradition, you wear your summer clothes to these types of festivals, so both us did. The fireworks started at 7 and finished with an incredible finale around 8:20. Here are some pictures from the start of the show. So I really wanted a picture of us with the fireworks in the background, but that was kind of tricky. So here are fireworks, with us barely visible and then us visible, with no fireworks. I didn't get a video of the finale, but I did get one while all these colorful fireworks were going off. After the fireworks, we weren't sure what to do and then Dave suggested screen golf, which of course, Mike got excited about. We golfed in our costumes and did quite well.
