Where the milk comes from

Greetings, and welcome to another exciting episode of this blog! My name is Tim, and I will show you some pictures of a festival at Mt. Daisen. I was fortunate to be able to have the opportunity to go because of my friend Rie. Thanks Rie!

Mt. Daisen is a great place. You can hike to the summit, and in the winter you can go skiing as well. But Daisen is not just known for it's recreational activities. Daisen is also home to a lot of the dairy products we enjoy here., such as butter, cheese, bacon, milk and so on. In fact, the milk that we drank last year at the middle school I teach at came from Daisen. However, due to some money stuff or whatever, our school picked another company for lunch milk.

And now pictures.

What's this? A festival of some sort?

"The Daisen Makiba Festival". Makiba means farm, ranch,

Inflatable soccer.

This ranch is already on high ground. You can barely see it, but up ahead is Yonago.

As with any festival, this one was rife with food vendors. But, what is this? Mexican food? MEXICAN FOOD? I talked to the guy on the left, who is presumably the owner of a new Mexican restaurant that just opened in Yonago. He even spoke some Spanish, to which I replied, "No hablo senior." I will definitely give my money to these people in Yonago when I get the chance.

The other vendors.

All things considered, good taco! Although, they did put a ton of mayo on it. Such is life in Japan.

People chillin' and enjoying an outdoor concert.

Food Vendors.

Chillin'.

'Sup cow?

There was an area with two ponies and a horse. This was the horse.

One of the ponies.

And the other one.

This area was interesting. I think it was hay that was bound up, but you could draw on the hay stacks.

The orange guy in the center is a not-so-well done picture of Doraemon.

Ah, that's better!

Rie asked me to write my favorite Kanji character, so I tried to remember the latest word I just studied. I wrote 模範生でか？ which roughly means, "Are you a model student?" Although I did mess up the first character and couldn't even remember the second one (that is Rie's handwriting). And the weasel? Well, that was yours truly.

Art 'n stuff.

To the left, which is not visible in this picture, you could see some cows resting.

Here it is and there it was. Goodnight everyone!
