Festival and sleepover

Yesterday Keisuke and I went out for dinner with Kai's best friend Hosea's parents, leaving Hana and the two boys at home with Thoa, our nanny. Today we had a fun day with the three kids, checking out the festival around the pagoda next to the park (unknown reason, but who cares), having a huge Japanese lunch at the place next door and hanging out at home.

No real sleep-over without popcorn and a movie.

And no real festival without dragon dancers.

Or rice paste figures.

Or merry-go-round.

Brief note on safety: Note the gas tube for the rice cooker in the centre, next to the taped electric wires criss-crossing the wet ground. Apparently there is also a cheaper substitute for the helium balloons in the background, some kind of flammable gas... All just adds to the excitement I guess.
