While the East Coast has weathered earthquakes and hurricanes, we here in Tokyo experienced "Friendship Day" and a parade. First Friendship Day... this is an annual event which brings about 4,000 people onto the U.S. Embassy compound for food, drinks, music and other assorted activities. It's billed as a way to open up the Embassy to the community and features a number of local vendors with tons of food. And to my surprise, the girls from Hooters (Tokyo Style) made an appearance. It actually ended up being a fun event.
On Sunday there was a parade for who knows what on the street right out in front of our church. We hung around for a little while and got some interesting pictures. There was even a Metlife blimp covering this parade from the sky, but we still have no idea what the parade was celebrating.
