The Magical Mr. Dai

Sunday's trip was first to Kichijoji, located on the western side of Tokyo. Walking around Kichijoji was very nice as there was a park with plenty of people around since the weather was so nice. Kinda reminded me of a miniature version of Centre Island in Toronto without all the rides. There was however still entertainment as random bands gathered to collaborate in making some tunes.

The one and only Mr. Dai also performed, creating various objects out of balloons and putting on an array of magical tricks with his various props he had alongside with him. He somehow managed to pull out a real banana from a bundle of yellow balloon bananas he had created. Other than that it was nothing too spectacular, but it was nice to see him bring a smile to the kid's faces and even more interesting to try to understand his dialogue, as he was speaking entirely in Japanese.
