Joining an Autumn Festival

October 14, 2024

I woke up around 4 am and quickly went through my daily routine. Then, I went to the community hall with my mom. I participated in carrying the Mikoshi (portable Shinto shrine). It was much harder than I expected because it was too heavy, and the route was too long. There were many foreign participants from the Iwakuni US military base. Festival volunteers prepared curry rice for lunch. I had a small portion and then went home to brush my teeth. The Autumn Festival continued until 6 pm During that time, I saw my old classmate who used to be a total punk, but now he is a local community leader (I have never liked him). It gave me a strange feeling. Anyway, I was completely exhausted. We moved to the Community Cultural Center for a party. I had beer and snacks. After 8:30 pm, I returned to the community hall with other members. I had more beer, sake, and delicious food. It was a fun time. After coming back home, I had ramen. I talked to my mom about meeting my old classmate at the event. I finally fell asleep just before 2 am.
