Waseda Sai 2009

Seems to be a tradition here for universities to have a University Festival (大学祭daigakusai) - nobody I've asked so far knows why though. So Waseda's was held on the past weekend (7th and 8th Nov) and we dropped by on Sunday since Saturday was spent at Hadano (one post before the previous). Met Chuan and his girlfriend Yihe at the festival too. Haven't seen him in so long - he said 10 years? Anyway they were really nice but the Festival was so crowded that it didn't really facilitate much interaction. So what was there at the school festival? Food stalls, game stalls and alot of performances, even concerts which had sold-out tickets. We barely stayed an hour before the boredom and the crowded-ness took its toll. Pictures below:



(Angklung Performance - they played Bengawan Solo.)

(Just a peak at how many people there were at the Festival, seeing how this was only one small (and filled with people) part of school. Some of the soldout concerts were held in that building behind - Auditorium.)


(Saris and Indian dances in Japan!).
