Penang Bon Odori 2008

Went there by 4 pm, but the event only began at 6pm. Thought I can see a lot pretty lady in Kimono but ends up majority are middle age, old women... young and pretty ones are hard to be seen, quite disappointed really.

Rehearsal

Various Japanese food stall. There are also stall selling local delights such as Laksa, Curry Mee, Penang road Cendol... but who want to eat those stuff while there are many interesting Japanese food with weird name that I never heard of to choose from? Cendol is selling at RM 3, while its normal price is RM 1.50 (100% inflation !)

You need to buy a voucher to purchase all the food and drinks

My DAP idol Chief Minister of Penang - YAB Lim Guan Eng. Beside him is the Japan Consulate

MP of Bukit Mertajam - Chong Eng was spotted, saw 2 famous DAP figures in real person finally

"Just Change for Malaysia !" In his speech he talk about Penang Government is implementing CAT (competency, accountability and transparency). It sounds funny, why don't they named it as ACT ?

All the guest were invited to dance

Time for fireworks, should start at 10 p.m., but delayed for about 30 minutes. I thought Japanese were very strict about time keeping ?

Love shape fireworks
