My first Bon Odori!

July 18, 2006

Pun of the day:
Bon — Adored It!

Bon Odoriiiiiiii!

:D :D :D

It was such a hectic day. I went to college, took my graduation photo, put on a freaking robe, attended my convocation, received my scroll, changed to my Kimono, and Bon Odori-ed!

So i was wearing long robes the entire day. HOT HOT HOT! But it’s all worth it.

It’s just gonna be pictures. Enjoy.
