Peace-a-Love 2011 in Rain

Everybody wished for a clear sky, if not, at least cloudy without rain. But it did not happen as wished. It rained for both days, 29th and 30th.

Eventhough it rained, people interested to enjoy Hiroshima's international mood and food came to the event ground with raincoat, umbrella and even with rain boots. They surely enjoyed the mood & food but not the ground which was muddy.

Our booth was like this.

And it looked like this around our booth.

 

In the morning of 30th, at 10:00AM, the mayer of Hiroshima appeared on the stage and declared open the festival. Then the stage went vibrant with different dances, performances, and songs. The stage continued until 15:40 just before closing the festival.

Different people visited us at the booth. Some didn't know where Nepal is, some had been and lived in Nepal for some time, some wanted to go to Nepal, some wanted to know the meaning of the present they bought in Nepal, some just wanted to talk, some were already drunk from Hiroshima Food Festival (another festival organized side-by-side towards the Hiroshima castle) and so on. Different people came and showed interest in Nepal or the products we displayed. Slowly we hope to introduce Nepal and the importance of living in simple & natural way to the people of Hiroshima.

Big thanks to the voluntters who helped to run the booth. Their contribution was great to smoothly run the booth. Nepal-Japan Nature & Peace Foundation highly appreciates their contribution.

And thanks alot to the people who stopped by our booth and contributed to our support activities.

See you all again next year. Let's hope the weather will favour us next time.
