| We're in town just in time for the last day of the mid August
                festival known as Tokushima Awa Odori, one of Japan's biggest and zaniest street
                parties.  Tens of thousands jam the city to play, dance, and just generally have a
                great time whooping it up. | 
                 | 
                Hands in the air, and feet on the street, everyone does the 'bon'
                dance and chants: The dancing fools 
                And the watching fools 
                Are foolish the same 
                So why not dance?  
                It's hard to argue with logic like that, so we just join in.  |
