Tenjin Festival

I'm talking about Tenjin festival. It take place in Osaka. It's called one of the Osaka 3 major festival. The festival starts end of June, and finishes end of July. During the festival, there are many events, such as Dragon boat race, Mikoshi and fireworks. Dragon boat race is one of the popular events. People ride a dragon boat that about 30 people can ride. Then several teams compete who is the fastest. Also, Mikoshi is famous. Mikoshi is things like houses for people to carry God(photo below). Finally, there is fireworks. It's very beautiful. Every year, many people come to the festival to watch the fireworks.

Swedish Wedding

I'm talking about Swedish wedding. Some part of Swedish wedding are diffferent from Japanese wedding. Swedish wedding have two parts, wedding and wedding ceremony. After groom's speech, all of people, include groom, bride and attendees, start dancing. They enjoy dancing until ending wedding ceremony. It's so long time. Also, if groom leave the seat while leaving the bride. Every attendees can kiss his bride. I think it's so interesting and sometimes dangerous. Finally, spouse open the every gifts. Attendees usually give some gifts, but they don't give money. The gifts are many kinds such as flower, picture, food...and so on! I think Swedish wedding is great, if I get married with   Swedish, please do not kiss my bride.
