After the piggy race, we got back to the restaurant and the BBQ dishes were served in plates and then we got to stir fry the mutton and vegetables at the grill pan ourselves. It is delicious! We eat it with some add on like sausages, cheese, beer, milk and etc! We are all very Enjoyed! (Fyi, the next door is a Pet friendly restaurant, pets are allowed to have meals together. )

Finally, it is time to look for best spot to be seated and wait for the fireworks show. There were few singsong at the stage before the fireworks show. The kids are excited! The shows began punctually. Woww!! The fireworks were marvellous!!! (They said the fireworks during the obon is to welcome the souls of ancestors, it is a sign to show them the way to come back to the living world. )

The fireworks show ended after 30 minutes, the people is very quiet and discipline to leave the place. Very comfortable! The day has ended, it is a wonderful day for us! At the same time we feel sad because tomorrow we are going to leave and to visit another host family at other city.
