Sumo

I have never been a big fan of Sumo. Sure enough, I'd watch it on TV now and again both in Q09 in Cardiff and with my Dad back home in Sweden. However, being at a tournament is an amazing experience and I didn't think that I would enjoy it as much as I did. We watched mastodon sized humans fight each other for over 4 hours while sitting on the floor with our legs crossed. That has got to be a record of some sort! We arrived at around 11am and got the general admission tickets that allowed you to sit anywhere until someone with that actual seat ticket turns up and politely asks you to leave. We sat ringside for all of the 4 hours and until the 2nd highest ranking fighters came out. Then we decided to leave the stadium to explore the rest of Osaka. If you can, GO TO SUMO! It is worth it.

Who is gonna go down first?
Timbers!
