Nara Festival

I didn’t stay for the lighting of the candles, but I was there for some squid balls (and the queue for them), some cakes, caligraphy, and some martial arts demonstrations…

Squid balls is a bit more descriptive than takoyaki, isn’t it? My brother’s manned that stall in previous years, but I’ve never been myself. Whoops!

They could have done with your bother, their service was a little disorganised..
