Obama city, Japan
I just found this link on Youtube and I'm dying of laughter... and a, "hey! I was there!"
There's this little city in Japan that just happens to be called Obama. During the last two years, it grew in prominence and the citizens became devoted fans of Barack Obama. They have manjuu (rice flour buns), an Obama/Hillary cake (chocolate swiss cake with cream filling... don't ask me, it didn't taste that good), chopsticks, t-shirts, and a few other things in between. I ended up going there in... mid-May? I bought a t-shirt, ate the cake, had a manjuu, and took photos. They EVEN HAVE A DANCE. Which I did not see when I was there.
Hee!
And here's Obama celebrating Obama!
I love Japan! Here's another one!
Someday, I'll have to post my pictures of that epic journey, from my little town to their little town.
