Malaysia

A Bon Odori Festival is also celebrated every year at Penang and at the Matsushita Corp Stadium, Shah Alam. This celebration, which is a major attraction for the state of Selangor, is the brain child of the Japanese Expatriate & Immigrant's Society in Malaysia. In comparison to the celebrations in Japan, the festival is celebrated on a much smaller scale in Penang and Selangor (Malaysia). Here, it is less associated with Buddhism and more with Japanese culture. Held mainly to expose locals to a part of Japanese culture, the festival provides the experience of a variety of Japanese food & drinks, art and dance.



Who are the vendors? Usually who attends this festival? Melays, Indian, Chinese.

Huh?! The vendors/booths are usually food & drinks (and souveniors/toys for kids) usually the likes of chain restaurants like Sushi King, or smaller personal food vendor ppl. They have Japanese & mixed variety. Who attends? JAPANESE & M'SIANS! XD

Finally, I can't wait to go with friends this year. I skipped some and I usually only go with family.

I also wanna see the new fan designs. *_*

OSH!

this is why I requested for information on the event. The date is not confirmed, some say 12th, while others say 19th.
For those who keep saying "its the same as last year" bla bla bla, you're assuming that I go there every year. Well I got news for you, I haven't been there before. OK???
