So here we are at the flower festival, and there were a lot of people...
|
15:18:38
So I wanted to see this Japanese comedian called HG, and not being able to get anywhere near due to the crowds, I attempted unsuccessfully to get some pictures round the back of the stage...
|
15:19:16
...and the same thing again, taken by holding the camera up above the fence thing.

15:22:31
Chie and the crowds,

Chie waiting patiently... on a toilet.
|
15:27:12
Very hard to see the stage!
|
|
|
|
15:30:04
You can just about see some other comedian here...
|
15:39:51
...aha, success, pretending like I was just passing through uninterested, I managed to get to a point where I could see the infamous HG - here he is mid "fuuuuuuuu".

A zoomed in version of the previous picture.

....and there he is again, and that was all I could get before the police politely but firmly told me to move on.

Another zoomed in version.

Later on, dinner at an American style grill in Hiroshima.
