Cute, cute, cute pic!!! PS, I loved the story about Shun not liking goats and the reason why! Ha ha ha. That is an adorable story! Nerve of that goat eating his poor badge!!! *winks* : ) I learn so much stuff by reading your blog! I didn’t know the name Ekka and now I do!

Since then, I have been twice - once with my first host student and the other with Naoki!!! Like you, I thought it was something that I thought he should at least experience once. By the way - I'm back in Oz... I arrived back yesterday morning I remember going to the Ekka for the first time when I was 14… but the only memory I have of it was those yummy strawberry sundee’s!!

And it sounds like they all pretty much have the same stuff, too! Does the Ekka have the yellow brick road showbag where you go around and get samples at each pavilion? I loved that.
