Akihabara Dancers and a Sumo Tournament

Mr. Russian Rita and I had a Sunday date two weeks ago. We went to the Akihabara electronic nerd town and saw the local street entertainers. Click on the photo to catch a peek of Tokyo life:http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1765119924

We later saw the winter Sumo Tournament. Because the wrestlers lose a match a soon as they cross the ring or touch the floor with anything but their foot, matches last very little time. The ritual part before the match lasts longer. Here is a famous Bulgarian wrestler

It was a relaxing place to be. The audience is free to move around, get food, etc. A good time was had by all of the Russian Rita family's Tokyo branch.
