Earth Garden Fest at Yoyogi Park, in Shibuya Tokyo.

Saturday, July 8th.

My newly met French friend Manu, Megumi (Japanese friend at the K's House), and I went to the Earth Garden Fest.

At the Earth Garden Fest, there were Asian markets where bunch of artists sold their handmade goodies (i.e., handmade tie-dyed clothes, hemp hats & bags, organic Thai foods, magic mashroom-shaped ornaments [see the pic] and etc etc). There were also some live bands playing music, and street performers singing songs. There were also bunch of lovely hippies who had colourful clothes and did a dynamic drum circle with African drums and some other exotic instruments. Plus, there were dancers who were spinning colourful flags & nuctilucent objects... There were so many open-minded & free sprited people... Oh, this is pretty much what I was exposed while I was in Canada!! (Only a big joint was not there in this Japanese version) I talked to a Japanese guy who were selling his handmade hemp hats and he was familiar about some other hippy cultures such as, Rainbow Gathering and Nelson & Sunshine coast in British Columbia!! Oh Canada!!

I met Santus, a guy from Nepal (I don't have his pic here). His drumming was amazing! Massive & crazy drumming, very psychedelic! He said he was from the very country side where had no gas, electricity, tap water, watch, or cars!! People don't have a watch, but don't care about the exact time anyway--People see the sun and think "oh, this must be close to noon" or something like that. When people wanna get some fun, they go to a near by mountain and eat wild magic mashrooms, too (wooow).
