Hello from very hot Tokyo (it was 40C on Wednesday!) I went to my first Tokyo FC football match yesterday and it was a really great night. They were playing Kashiwa Reysol who were in yellow and who only took up a small area of the stadium but they sure knew how to support - they had huge flags and drums and man co-ordinating the singing, swaying and drumming from the front with a megaphone - quite a sight. I don't know that much about football but apparently the standard wasn't that high but football is very big over here - Gary Linekar even played for a Japanese team when he retired! Unfortunately Tokyo FC lost 0-1 on a penalty but I enjoyed it anyway! Athalf time there was a massive fireworks display just outside which was amazing - August is "Firework season" here so there's been lots of displays but this one was a spectacular surprise treat. Maybe I'll get a season ticket...
