Bullfighting- Okinawan Style





So we went to a bullfight. Unlike the typical bullfight that you are imagining however, the bulls actually fight each other. It's basically bulls doing sumo wrestling. I thought it was pretty entertaining but I don't know if I'm going to be able to convince the girls to go to another one. They also had some "halftime entertainment" which I believe they call "Eisa." It's traditional dancing and drum banging. It's okay too, but the songs they perform are quite lengthy and they use a guitar-like instrument with only 3 strings-and how many notes can you get out of three strings? But I guess they get into it quite a bit and there's big competitions and such. And don't ask me about the wierd people in the costumes?? Those are quite the horns, eh?
