Yeah! so I got to do taiko last night. I was passing the taiko stage after having worked out and got grabbed and taiko sticks thrust into my hands. So I tried to play along with the rest of them and I think I did pretty well for having no explanation or practice, it was pretty fun too. I am looking forward to seeing the taiko group perform at the festival tomorrow and hopefully they will keep up the practice afterwards so I can learn. Oh also I finally got a bank account today so I finally have everything I need to get a Keiti (Japanese mobile phone), definitely looking forward to that, they are amazingly advanced. Check up on the blog after the weekend for pictures of the festivals, I plan to take lots. The picture is of me with a taiko drum.
