This past Friday, Emma and I took the train to Osaka... As you saw below, we went to the Apple Store... But also (and possibly more importantly), we went to the International Beer Festival Summit Japan Osaka Beer Great Festival Fun Time Happy 2007 (or something like that)...
It was held at the Umeda Sky Building, which, if you don't know, kinda looks like a big letter "A" or an alien spaceship from Galaga...
Anywhooo, they had a ton of different beers there to try... Most were 500-700 yen ($4.26 - $5.96) for a 500 ml (16.9 oz.) bottle... They had beers from a lot of different countries, but mostly Germany and England...
We were pumped to have some Oktoberfest beers, and a Hefe-weizen or two, as they are greatly missing from Japanese liquor shops...
They had a lot of entertainment during the festival, especially at night... A martial arts "play" where 4 people pretended to kick the crap out of each other samurai-style... Some R & B singers, a Greek (?) Guy playing some Greek guitary-typey thing (?) that sounded like an open tuned guitar but looked like a big ladle... Two scantily clad belly dancers... A flamenco dancer who look like she was super pissed (Always stomping a lot! Why are you so angry lady?)...
Good times had by all! We took a lot of pics, which are here... Check 'em out!
