If you going to tell me "thats all I can see"
then great, because last year (or last 2 years, which I think is the worst) you can found more...

anyway, something that surprise me is that Sushi King...

just come back from there..

I am shame of being Malaysian at there.. we totally lose our pride in front of Japanese eyes..

1) I dunno why there are ppl pushing left and right, run left and right when they are suppose to follow the rhythm of the dancers on the stages.. As result, the organizer give warning to ask ppl not to run and push.. OMG... like telling kindergartens' children not to run.

2) Saw some photographers, especially those with big lens and white lens, they like never saw Japanese ppl wearing traditional costume before. The Japanese families are having their meal, they go and snap them, and ask them to take photo with them, they are polite not to reject the request, but please lah.. tahu tahu lah.. imagine if u are eating, ppl come ask u can I take a photo with you ? The photogs come in a group, many of them, so u multiply the number of times the families have to stop enjoying their meal and entertain the photogs?? OMG...And those big big lens, like stalking ppl non stop

You wanna take photos, please choose appropriate time. No offense on any photogs here..

3) OMG, lala costume.. some even wear pajamas with dolls.. LMAO..*facepalm*

How will Japanese ppl think about Malaysia ?? I dunno, I should go and ask them their feeling, but first, i must pretend hard to become non-Malaysian.

u seems very bohsong on this event.
Is it really that bad ??

Can I hire you to write me a bohsong article? Straight away give you RM50.

Adoi I promise myself to go to this event after reading the Star newspaper last year since i have no idea got this kind of event in msia,tak sangka terlepas pula

are you the boh song king ??

Back from 32th Bon Odori too, here is my view...

1. It's a cultural event to respect the departed spirits with dance + drums performance. But heck, there are some e-pen|s wearing pajamas, cosplay, super freaking lala suit to show off?

2. OK I know, girls girls girls is alot.. wanted to snap picture with them just ask them politely.. not to STALK them.

3. Yes as we know there is a section where food/beer stalls are setup and you can buy and eat.. but please la, throw the rubbish into rubbish bin after the meal. BTW, did I mention beer?

4. Bon Odori could be better with those people who knows the true meaning of the event.

Sorry ya if I had offended you..~

So, everyone enjoyed the event?

I guess I just missed it. Well, will go next year and find out what it's all about.

Peace.

Yeah enjoyed it

every years are the same and it still sucks big time, so not going anymore;

seeing those ah bengs and lala really made me wonder what's gonna happen to malaysia in the future

i told those to my fren, she said those are celebration, and asked me why am i so emo?
and yeah, i bought asahi beer, rm7.50 but tastewise i like it better than carlsberg coz not that bitter, my frens who can drink dislike it tho

i bought bout 4 cans of asahi....
coz of its taste ....hahaa.
taste gud . . .

about the cosplay thingy..
i think they are disrespecting the jupanese...

not coz of the chicks promoting it?

bon odori is a summer festival.. same like our hungry ghost festivaland all that

why da hell do u ppl go there and cosplay? damn disrespectful to the japanese culture..


imagine we all go back hometown for ching ming or wat.. then u see a bunch of ang mohs dress up as kwan kong and monkey king jumping around us? zzz

apa la malaysians have a totally wrong concetpt about bon odori

i'm sure this is also one of the reason he bought asashi.

by the way, what are asashis?

I missed to get ASAHI coz of waiting my friends together to mass drink ASAHI..

@ leelc99 , it's a beer

The japanese was just like this -->

Got sell asahi beer too? wow i never drink a japanese beer before.

i prefer asahi beer over local 1, maybe coz it's less bitter and easier to drink, lol
but it's expensive

Cerlusberg is RM 7.. Did I mention Carlsberg?

About the No. 1... it is something I really dulan about it...
On the last section dance, many idiota can't dance quietly and shouting...
Even though it is like some kind of joy that suppose present in the dance, but when they shout, it may potentially affect the drummer and the dancer on the stage...

And 2nd one... my friend did it, and there is something very very funny happen...

mm photo is here

The same food one can get in Jusco & Isetan.

At Bon Odori, price is doubled.

I arrived late...so, I didnt enjoy a bit...
next year I will come early...

hahaha... kwan kong.... LOL! I doubt anyone would cosplay... there's certain rules when one wants to dress up kwan kong

Is it spelled as ASAHI or ASASHI?

Seriously better than Tiger Beer or Carlsberg?

Wanting to try..

dunno.. I missed it(no more stocks)

lol we expected that to happen in malaysia

Just came back from Penang's Bon Odori ... The fireworks display was awesome ... Though it didn't last very long ... Waited there since 6pm

my frens did not like it coz it's not strong enough, but i like it better coz i normally do not drink
u can get ASAHI in jusco mid valley for rm7.90
