Homestay + 日田川開き観光際

Once again a temporary post to keep people updated while I sort out photos and videos. I did a homestay over the weekend @ Hita city. It also so happened that there was a rather big festival held there at that time - 日田川開き観光際 (hita kawa biraki kankousai).

The highlights of the festival must have been the 花火(hanabi - fireworks) display which were held on both Saturday and Sunday night, each lasting more than an hour and each involving more than 5000 fireworks.

I have 4 exams this week so pardon me as I take my time to put up photos and more videos...

In the meantime... watch this short 2 minute clipout of the 80 minutes that I witnessed on that night.

Lousy video quality, electric cables and an endless stream of people walking past... but still superb!
