Toyota Fireworks

July 26th - 2009

The 2nd fireworks festival for the kids.. this time is in Toyota and we decided to go by car. We also did bought Eirfan & Yuri a new "jinbei" for them and Eiqmal got Eirfan's old "jinbei" of course. We go out quite early to Toyota city, but the massive traffic jam really hurts. Seems that most of them are going to the fireworks festival too.
After on a slow traffic for about 2 hours finally we arrived at Toyota city and the event is near the Toyota Stadium and our next problem is to find a parking area. All the coin parking are full and other temporary parking also full to...and expensive. We went back inside the town and headed to area near the train station and manage to find a parking slot for us. From the station it's already crowded with peoples in "yukata". I also managed to snap Pizza La staff in "yukata" also.
As we walk towards the stadium, peoples are sitting everywhere and the closed road also filled up with peoples waiting for the show. It's very hard to find a nice spot and finally we decided to take the charged seating area due to there is no more nice spot to sit.
While waiting for the starting time.. the clouds become darker and looks not very good too. So i rushed to a near by shops to find a rain coat for Eiqmal due to he didn't have one yet.. Eirfan & Yuri bring theirs. Finally the worst thing happened...it a heavy rain but everyone still patience waiting the rain to stop. Well for me...got all wet of course..just cover the camera only hahaha.
The fireworks finally started and the shows are very nice and interesting...but we cannot enjoy until the end of the show due to we are all wet and afraid that my kids might catch cold too. So we headed back to our car and head strait back home.
Definitely we will come again as a revenge in next year's fireworks festival.
