Evil Fireworks, Last Minute Sight Seeing, a Sayonara Party, and a Toga Party!!!

So we said we we're packing our last days in Kyoto full of fun and we meant it!!

First we had a BBQ at the River fork Island. (the River forks and in the center there's an Island). To get to the Island you have to jump across huge river rocks shaped like turtles as seen here. . .

When we got there people were crazy into the fireworks. Dangerous fireworks that you had to throw after you lit them. They had no sense of direction so sometimes they came straight back at you.
It was seriously a scary night with a lot of jumping and screaming (and that was just Cam). Hee Hee, just kidding he was very manly even when he tried to give me a heart attack and a firework went off in his hand!!!
Kawai!! (scary)
Mine's not a firework just a sparkler, Pretty!!

We had seen just about everything we really wanted to see in Kyoto there was just 1 or 2 things we still wanted to see so Saturday we headed out for some sight seeing. We went over to the Kyoto Tower.
Fine I won't!

My work from way up high.

The Tower Mascot.

Then over to the Atom Boy Museum and Shop for all you foreigners (aka Cam and I) Atom Boy was Astro Boy for us, but Atom Boy in Japanese. Kyoto is Astro Boys official home town.
So strong!!Also we went to our favorite sushi place, Kuppa Sushi one last time and discovered a new kind of sushi. Most of you know how I feel about hot dos so I didn't try it. Cam tried it but even he thought it was gross. I guess this is one place east should not meet west. Good try though. . .
Next we had an Awesome Sayonara Party we started at Kiyo Geki Bowling and then headed to Karaoke. 40 People showed up for the bowling we had to rent 10 lanes here are some team pictures. . .











Nice Form!!

Then we went to Jumbo karaoke all you can drink cocktails and a private room all night for 22 dollars a person. 25 people came to Karaoke and we had to rent 3 rooms. It was a great night, we didn't get home till 6 a.m.






Scaramouch, scaramouch . . .


What's that song The Fugees sing????



Last men (and woman) standing!!

Toga, Toga, Toga,
What can I say it was your typical toga party, drinking games, music, fun was had by all. Most people stayed the night and got the first train home in the morning.
Great Times, Great People. We are really going to miss the friends we made here.









Drinking Games. . . Flip Cup Relay.


Beer Pong. . .

Kings (Seven is Heaven)


Uh oh there dropping like flies.
All our Asian boy passed out on the couches!!

There were three in the bed and the little one said. . .


And now off to Tokyo. . . See you in a week. . .
