Sumo Sunday

So last Sunday was L.A. gay pride and being new to the city we of course went to the




...Sumo matches.



and while we're not really sports fans we couldn't resist taking our Japanese sponsor child to experience a bit of his cultural heritage.




Domo can't wait to get inside and see the wrestlers... and the yakatori stall.





Domo loves watching the crowd file in but is a little disappointed that there wasn't a shaved ice stand in the coliseum.



The wrestlers are very big and frighten Domo so he's glad that he wasn't too close to the action.



The Olympic Coliseum just outside the Sports Arena inspires Domo to become more active but the headless statue frightens him and makes him want to seek comfort in fried foods.

I'll post more Japanese singing entrees as I find them.
