They went to Powell street festival, or aka Japanese Festival, this afternoon. By the kids tent, there was a watermelon cracking event. Momo-Chan took part but Pinga and her mom were a bit disappointed how it was organized. Usually, kids get blindfolded and try to hit watermelon from other people's guidance e.g. move a bit towards left, right, and a bit more forward, etc. But there was no blindfolding and also even though the watermelon was cracked, they didn't stop hitting it. Traditionally when the watermelon is cracked, the event is done and next is to cut the watermelon for participated kids. Other Japanese parents were puzzled by how it is organized as well.
