Being a tourist

Some pictures from the Edogawa Ichikawa Fireworks Festival in Tokyo today.

Gosh it was stinking hot - at 36 C and we were out on the river banks since 2 pm this afternoon. There were approximately 100,000 people watching the fireworks festival on the banks (that's my rough estimate or rather the figure looks impressive)! So one can imagine the nightmre of getting into the train to go home! Gosh it was jam packed with smelly and sweaty people!!

I am so burnt and dehydrated.
