A day of epic proportions

Not every girl thinks it's an ideal way to spend a day watching giant men in little loin clothes grapple each other. But I do and I grinned from ear to ear as I entered the sumo stadium after a two hour pursuit of hard cash (public holiday, nearest ATM accepting foreign cards was two train rides away!) and a ticket finally in my hand.

I'm kind of short on written words today so I'll post more on this later. The pics are here
