It's summer and time to wear your yukata, come out and play! Yes, even if you are in Malaysia! Get transported to the Land of Rising Sun for an evening at Bon Odori. Dance the Bon dance, eat the presentable sushi and snap some pics. The music is hypnotic, I swear! Before you know it, you will be dancing and clapping until they stop for break!

For those who missed the Bon Odori, here's some colorful pictures from the 33rd Bon Odori in Shah Alam!

Colorful yukatas

Dance along with them

The energetic drummers

Sushi in boxes, Sushi in box is exactly like normal sushi...except boxed.

Overheard: Mom, I don't wanna Malaysian ice creams, I wanna Japanese ice creams!

See you there next year!! XD

What a weekend it was!

To be in Singapore for not only my first time (!) but also for the first EVER night race was quite amazing! I'm a lucky girl...and the envy of a lot of my friends!

I went along with the internal and external AirAsia winners who had won tickets to the race. We were able to enter on all three evenings to catch a glimpse (literally!) of the F1 cars zooming around the track.

Before the first evening I was able to wonder around the city and get a feel for the place. I really liked the feeling of Singapore and of course I went along to the famous Raffles Hotel!
