Penang Bon Odori 2007

this year's bon odori festival in penang was held at the Esplanade field on july 21st. a little info about bon odori celebration: Bon Odori on Wiki

not much photos here anyway. low-light conditions and fast-moving subjects seems to be too challenging for my lil' powershot cam...

the first dance session...

of the many stalls around, only a few are even remotely related to japanese cultures. i saw thai food, tropical fruit juice, etc.. wtf. was looking for any stall that sells pocari sweat, but found none... a stall is busy promoting yeo's justea instead.

it started drizzling towards the end of the first dance session, and everyone ran for cover. the events resumed a while later, even though it's still raining. i left early and didn't stay for the fireworks show towards the end, as i'm already wet from the rain...
