Nebuta and Tachi Nebuta

Last Friday I went to Aomori for the nationally famous Aomori Nebuta festival. A big group of ALTs joined the parade, donning crazy looking yukatas, and hopping about chanting "rassera rassera rasserasserassera!" Here are a few pics:

The next day we went to Goshigowara for another festival, called "Tachi Nebuta." At this one we sat on the sidelines and watched. It wasn't as crazy as Aomori, but the floats were much more impressive, I thought. Some were four or five stories high.

Dude, you went to Tachinebuta too? Totally didn't see you, though probably not surprising given how many bajillions of people there were.
