I think this is where all the clean cut guys from Utah hang out. Am not 100% sure though.

This video was taken just as they were getting ready for a break of beers, sake and foody goodness prepared by some local shop keepers.  This was just the first break but you can see how hot and tired everybody is already.  The music, chanting and dancing were infectious!! 
Plus everybody was trying to give us beer and more beer - EXCELLENT!!

Sesame Street poster in lobby of our apartment building advertising Disaster Preparedness Week. 8/30-9/5.  “It is not a matter when the next big earthquake hits but whether you are prepared for it.”  Classic quote!

Video of Rukie with fire poi.  These don’t light up his face as much as the other fire jugggling techniques. Lots of people practice poi at Sado island but Rukie showed his far superior talents based on his speed and energy. Watch this with the sound on as you can hear the poi whistling through the air.  He has some real speed happening.
