Pop Japan

How about a floating Yoda, Meowth or even Honda's Asimo for a November morning? 

On November 1, the Kase River in Saga City, Saga Prefecture in Japan got filled with fancy-shaped balloons, not only from Japan but from 18 other countries . Considered to be one of the largest balloon festivals in Asia, the Saga International Balloon Fiesta displayed around 111 giant and colorful devices. There was also a balloon competition which tested the maneuvering capabilities of the enormous balloons. There was also the Honda Trial Bike Show for motor enthusiasts. Foodies got to stuff their tummies too at the Umakamon Market with around 100 local stalls.
