Japan: Weekend

Due to studying and a lack of money, I have been spending most of my time at home these days. However, this past weekend was fairly exciting:

• Saturday - Went to watch the Minatogawa-Jinja Matsui parade with the parents-in-law, sister, and nieces and nephews. Afterwards, took the kids to Toys R Us where father-in-law bought a remote-control helicopter.
• Sunday - Went to the top of Akashi bridge. Almost 300m high and a perfect day for viewing.

Found out that my brother-in-law's NTSC LCD TV isn't compatible with my PAL video camera, even though it can do HD. You would think that by now, especially with HD, that TVs should be able to handle any signal you throw at them... but no.
