Suikawari
'Suikawari' translates roughly into SMASHING WATERMELONS (sounds like the name of a certain rock band I love).To simply explain the progression of the game; one person is blindfolded and spun around in his/her place three times.Then,he/she is given a stick.In front of the person,a JUICY watermelon is placed on the ground.The others around the person with the stick are to scream out the directions to the watermelon, and give him/her the signal to swing the stick at the watermelon in an attempt to SMASH the WATERMELON.It might sound like a waste of food/money,but,this is certainly a LOT of fun!The crowd screamed in Japanese "HIDARI!!!" (TO THE LEFT!),"MIGI!!!" (TO THE RIGHT!),"MASSUGU" (STRAIGHT AHEAD!),"UTTE!!!" (HIT THE WATERMELON!).
Wow,how fun!!!
Another nice thing to do on hot weekend...BBQ near the Tamagawa River.
oh!...1 thing i noticed that most watermelons sold in Japan have a lot of those black seeds in it...why?...i just don't know.
And why watermelons sold in M'sia almost have not seeds in it?is it because the watermelon DNA in M'sia is genetically structured so they don't come up with seeds and Japanese watermelon market doesn't except genetically structured watermelons.
Are we M'sian consuming a lot of genetically structured food...if it is so...OMG!!!
