シンガポールのBU-CHAN LIFE IN JAPAN: Oirase River Salmon Catching Festival

Remember that i said previously that i will go to other salmon festival if i have time. I almost forgot about it until the last day of event. To my surprise, this was alot bigger than i expected. This time i was able to have an unobstructed view for the salmon catching event. For uguys, i forsake eating 1st and wait for the event get started.

In comparison of the Rokkasho event, this event was twice the size and the audience whom are not participating but wish to catch glimpse of event had better view of it. Although the food stalls are also double in size, i felt that the food was more unique and tastier in former than the latter. Latter had more repetitive stalls so did not have interest to buy the food thereafter.

My parents in law joined us after we finished touring around the event, all along they have been waiting for me to get the military base pass and able to enter together with them. I didn't realise that till Shota told me about it. I knew my father in law love military stuff, in fact he is the 1 that developed Shota's interest in it. When Shota was only 2 years old, he would say out different navy ship's names and their model numbers instead of reciting hiragana. So that goes to show you how crazy they both are. Hence i felt bad instantly that my father in law waited 3 months for me to eventually get my id. I am blessed with such wonderful in laws and we all know how rare that is.

Entrance for catching event

Little did they knew that their life was going to end

There was a English host for the event as well, he should be from ALT program. Assistant Language Teaching program where selected foreigners are posted to school to assist the teacher during English lessons. I find it funny that he also wore salmon on his back,

Participants waiting to catch the salmons

if you notice the yellow ribbon on the fish, the boy whom caught it will get a special prize in addition. He's good since he came all the way to our opposite end and grab it so quickly. I wonder how he knew the salmon came to our side.
