Saga international balloon festa 2008 2nd day

Balloon Fantasia ～ All the interesting balloons assemble at the launch site! A lot of anime characters and cute animals line up alongside the river. If the weather permits, it may be possible to enter the launch area, which is not usually open to the public. You will be able to see these extraordinary gigantic balloons close up.

In the morning of Nov. 1(Sat.), bacause of the fog over the hall was not dispelled ,implementation of the task flight became difficult. Although a hot air balloon task is not held, a free flight (takeoff) is performed from the Kase river dry riverbed main lunch site by judgment of a pilot. A game pilot is expected to take off from order 8:30. We've waited at the river side for 2 hours. The information told us the task has been canceled. But luckly, most of the pilot performed a free flight. It was really nice of them to show us the balloon. I went with my mother, and it was her first time to see hot ari balloon. I wake her up 5am so, she was getting bit tired, but pilot starts get ready for a free flight, my mother was so excited. I was glad to show her this event. And it was really nice for me to see this balloon. Just wonderful

What kinds of tasks do the balloonists compete for?

It is not “speed or distance” that balloonists race for but “accuracy within a limited time” in most cases. Generally, a balloonist is required to drop his/her marker onto a target on the ground after flying several kms. The target is either declared by the event director or by the pilot him/herself before departure.

立春を過ぎると寒いけど春がちかづいているな〜と感じます

In Japan, according to the lunar calendar, the first day of each season has a name.
The spring is RISSHUN, 立春。February 4 or 5, depending on the year, is risshun. Risshun is the first day of spring in the traditional Japanese calendar. According to the calendar used in the East since ancient times, risshun marks the beginning of spring. We also have day in summer, fall and winter.

We say it its the biggining of spring.. but risshun is the coldest time of year. After risshun the sunlight becomes brighter day by day, and although temperatures don't yet rise that much, the approach of spring can be clearly felt.

沖縄 首里城

Great Okinawa !! I want to go there again.
I went to Okinawa to see my cousin. Okinawa was wonderful.
It doesn't feel like I am in Japan. We have US force there, so you see English sign everywhere in the city. Yes, they have dark and heavy history back ground, but I want to visit there again. Okinawa is Japan now, but they have such a unique culture and custom which you never see it in here. They have unique language as well.

hummmm. Interesting place.
