Tokyo University Entrance Ceremony at the Budoukan
On April 10, I was touring around Chidorigafuchi and walked past the Budoukan. The walk along the Chidorigafuchi path was really nice and stopping in the park near the Budoukan was a pleasant surprise. The open field was nice to see and seeing a couple groups of students took me by surprise. It was strange to see so many people there and things only got more and more crowded as I approached the Budoukan. The Budoukan was, and will be, used for the judo events during the Tokyo Olympics and is currently popular as a concert venue. Apparently Tokyo University also uses it for their entrance ceremony. Walking past the Budoukan was a mad house. Lots of students looking happy, and many looking bored, were all over. Their parents and grandparents were looking very proud. I walked around to the back area and could see a herd of students just leaving the area. It was crazy to say the least. Everyone was in their “recruit suits” and full of hope and ambition. I couldn’t really tell all of them that they would probably run into a Southern Barbarian who would crush their dreams, or at least open their eyes to a harsher reality. 😉

What do you call Southern Barbarian?
I’m sure the Southern Barbarian will be here sooner or later to tell you. 🙂
Whoops… That’s what I thought, but I also thought that it had to be something or someone else. 😉
OK look, ne, the southern barbarian is on Africa time, so she’s three weeks late, but she’s here. Blame above-mentioned institute of higher education for the southern barbarian’s lateness. I’ve been busy and I’mfromAfrica so don’t blame me.
No worries. Let’s work on getting you a vacation sooner than later.
