Bon Odori '09

It had been 2-3 years since my last visit to Bon Odori. I remembered attending the last one with Kelly in Penang, where I wore my new purple yukata from Japan. Kelly helped me out with the make up and “whoola”, a totally different feel. (Kelly, I miss you...)

This year, I went to the one in Panasonic Sports Complex, Shah Alam (previously known Matsushita Sports Center). It was a surprise to see Andy there, distributing the paper fans. I also met a number of Unimates, such as Wilz, Huwi Yin, How Zan, Jing Hui and those names that I cannot remember. I had to agree with Andy that many of the Japanese food there had been Malaysianized.
