Festival - part II

Saturday gone was the Sakura Matsuri; the Japanese Street Festival which is part of the cherry blossom festivities.  There were about six blocks closed off downtown with loads of stalls selling Japanese food & drink, fashion, arts and crafts.  There were also stages showing music, dance and marshall arts etc. 

Not sure what these dudes were called but they were mint

 Kendo demonstration - Teddy thought this was hilarious, 

the noises the made were pretty funny

Pleased with my new necklace

And of course we had food...

Later we meet up with Dan and went down to China Town for a meal.  Its the first time I have been to a Chinese restaurant as I have never liked it when people have chinese takeaway (its all greasy).  But this was really good we had dumplings and wontons then Schezuan beef, peking duck and something with prawns and bean curd - it was all yummy and I will defo have chinese again!
