Catching fish and throwing shapes at a local festival

At Japanese festivals (or 'matsuri'), they dance around like they are tending to crops, eat pressed vegetables on sticks and try to catch fish using an instrument that breaks whenever a fish lands on it. This is my story.

Eating pressed vegetables on a stick. I won't be eating it again as it was tasteless, even if it was 'full of protein'.

Throwing shapes like a real Japanese farmer would.

I caught a fish! Much to the shock of the guy running the stall, who didn't see me tip the container into the water when he wasn't looking.

For the full fish-catching glory, see the video below.

Shocking my fellow festival goers by pretending I was going to eat the fish.

With my winnings.
