Bunbury's Matsuri Magic: Sister City Celebrates Japan
Okay, so you know how much I dig it when Japanese culture pops up in unexpected places? Well, turns out Bunbury, Australia, just wrapped up a two-week festival celebrating its sister city bond with Setagaya, Japan.
The whole thing culminated in a Matsuri, which for anyone not in the know, is basically a super lively Japanese festival. Think parades, traditional music, food stalls, and just a massive outpouring of community spirit. It's awesome to see this kind of cross-cultural connection thriving, bringing a bit of that vibrant Japanese energy all the way to Western Australia.
