SPRING AKARI FESTIVAL - DRIVE4CHARITY 10 MARCH 2012

A fortnight ago, the Spring Akari Festival was held in Strait Quay to serve as a memorial for the tsunami & earthquake that deeply impacted Japan and generally everyone around the world, early last year. It was also meant to celebrate life and the rebuild of Japan as a strong nation in a span of a year.

There were a lot of activities lining up for all the visitors during the 3-day event such as,

1) Exhibiton, mostly stories and pictures on how restoration of Japan was being carried out. Touching photos, inspiring as well.

2) Well-wishes corner. Visitors were encouraged to write words of encouragement on little piece of paper provided to show their support for Japan.

Like this one. These little notes were tied on a string so that everyone can read it.

3) Japanese food sampling. There were a few stalls preparing bizarre Japanese food on the spot for the visitors to try. Didn't manage to take a closer picture as the crowd was kinda big during free food sampling.

Centre stage where the emcee made announcements and there were supposed to be performances I guess but throughout the time I was there, there was none =(

4) Drive4charity event. Actually, this was the main reason I was there; to support Victor and his friends in playing their part for charitable cause. Visitors may take a ride in one of the following cars as seen in the above poster for only RM 10. Seen in the picture above is Nigel, the proud owner of blue Nissan Skyline.

Look at those sexy rides *drools*

One of favourite my fav cars, Mazda Miata MX5. Very tiny & girly kind of car. It reminds me of Pollypocket stuffs. Victor took me for a ride in it.

The day ended with my most favorite-iest "tit pan mee" for dinner.

Night all!
