SUMO

During the month of May there is a HUGE Sumo tournament going on in Tokyo and we were lucky enough to score tickets and attend. It is a sport that has been able to maintain all of the old customs and traditions and was a real treat to watch. We got there in the morning to watch the Sumo hopefuls and newbies then we got to see the big guys come in and THAT WAS GREAT! I still cannot believe the size of these people! Josh kept joking around with everyone by telling them "Watashi wa sumohtorini narini kimashita" meaning "I am here to become a sumo wrestler". Nobody took him seriously or else we may have been going home with a Josh that looked like a smooshed pancake :)
