World Cup of Street Performers

On Thursday, it was a holiday, so I went with another teacher, Jen & her boyfriend, Toshi to Shizuoka City for the World Cup of Street Performers. It was an hour train ride there and actually my first real trip out of my city so far.

We got there in the afternoon and watched some performances on the main downtown street and then went to a nearby castle where there were many performances on the castle grounds. There were so many people watching each performance, that it was hard to see. It wasn't till night time that I could get close enough for pictures, but by then the lighting wasn't the best.


There was lots of good international food there as well:
They also had a practice area so you could try juggling tricks:
