Hanabi!!!

My first in Japan's hot summer. Hanabi anyway is the fireworks festival. It is a season where Japanese will turn up in Yukata, a simpler form of Kimono and enjoy fireworks by the riverside. Along with it will be eating together, games and of course Japanese's favourite pastime, drinking beer!
Went with 8 other friends. It was fun meeting together and getting dressed up for it! Tying our hair together and adjusting our yukatas. Kinda felt like high-school prom kinda of thing.
But well.. enjoy the photos! more to come because this is only the start of summer!
The pretty girls!

Strangely speaking, we gathered lots of stares everywhere we went... probably due to the foreigners among us wearing yukatas... good experience nevertheless!
