tanabata

the place where i came from is called Hiratsuka-city of Kanagawa prefecture.

its famous for its large tanabata, which is celebrated on the 7th of this month.

but the real festival was held on the 2,3,4,5th of the month, so i went on the last day with 8 of my friends.

the day before the night, a yakuza member was shot inside the office near the station, so there were policemen and yellow "keep out" tapes all over a particular spot of the street.

apparently, it was my friend's superior when he worked temporary near the station as.... an attendant for.... a club. yes.

apparently, a member of other yakuza (the fujisawa-area yakuza, to be precise) came to hiratsuka during tanabata, and did some shit, and he was taken to the hiratsuka yakuza's office for some... diciplinary actions which may involve breaking some bones.

following that, a boss from fujisawa came to apologice to the hiratsuka yakuza, and it was supposed to settle the whole shit.

but an other member from fujisawa came to hiratsuka, to come save his friend, and shot one of the member of hiratsuka yakuza, dead.

hiratsuka yakuza, seeing this, stabbed the first fujisawa guy to death, and sent the body over to fujisawa, and sent one man (the "responsible" one) from the member to endure the jail.

so, its all a cheerful place around where i live.

i had fun anyway with my friends so its all cool. we drank, talked, and took care of the drunk (my friend sits down and cry when he gets wasted)
