MILANO MATSURI 日本食と文化の祭典 #2

Hi everyone!!! 

As I said in my last post, yesterday I went to Milano Matsuri event!!

I really enjoyed it! I went with some of my friends, we saw some show, there were typical Japanese games for children, karaoke and some workshop! 

The most important thing...we ate a loooooooot of exquisite food!! Yummy!!!

I woke up very early and I arrived to the event one hour before the begining, I knew a lot of people would come, infact too many people, ahahhahaha a very long queue under the sun...it seemed infinite! O.O

Luckly I came veeeeeery early and I took immediatly the tickets for me and my friends! 

When they arrived we could enter without problems, without waiting somthing or else.

It's been the first Matsuri in Milan so the location was a bit to small for so many people! But It wasn't impossible to walk!

With the ticket we could eat small portions of food for free!

Udon, Gyoza, Yakitori, Karaaghe and Takoyaki for free!!

We ate all this delicious food!

During the event I saw some mini show with demonstrations! I really enjoyed the one took by one of my friend's mom >.< she showed how to prepare a Bento and she explained how they teach to their children the importance of food, a balanced diet, healthy for our body! I learned somthing important!

Bento prepared by 2 little girls!

In the afternoon me and my friend went to do a paint workshop! Ahahahah we tried to be good paintress! 

But we're not so great!! The most important thing is Have Fun!
