Exploring Culture through a Japanese Festival

Here's my buddy and co-worker, Martin Woodrow, exploring Japanese culture...

We were in Yokohama last August to lead some classes. On the weekend, we stumbled on a matsuri, a Japanese festival.
In the hot weather, the festival participants tend to dress lightly...

Martin, an expert at learning, decided to get a closer look. 

Do you think this is what Ed Hall meant by 'transcending culture'?

What did we learn?
Well, for one, you never know what you'll find around the corner.

Secondly, not everyone puts on their pants one leg at a time.

And finally, it's great to be the one behind the camera...
