While babysitting 2yr old Cayce for our friends & neighbors, the Nielsens, we were alerted to the sight & sound of fireworks in the night sky outside, going on just across the bay from us at Sunset Beach in Mihama of Chatan-cho, Okinawa, Japan. So we snapped some camera phone videos:
Wish I had started shooting this 2nd, longer video just a tad earlier because the light that is spread across the large expanse of water at the beginning was absolutely HUGE & awesome, but I missed most of it. Oh well!
The next morning we got curious as to what event was happening to warrant such impressive fireworks, so we checked our local listings. Turns out they were part of the festivities of the 1st night of 2 for the "22th Seaport Chatan Carnival" (yes, they printed caps & shirts with that name & that made our OkiEngrish.com blog) which also includes the usual vendor booths, live music, tug-of-war, Haarii (aka dragon boat races) & Eisa dances. So we went by & watched the morning boat races:
And then later that night we caught the 2nd night of fireworks:
Still shots from the fireworks show & boat races:
