This was the 4th year that we attended Akimatsuri and the second time my mom was able to join us. Unfortunately, the weather was quite bad. It was cloudy, cold and at the end rainy. We got there early like we usually do and there was already a long line for the takoyaki. Luckily, there was only one group waiting at the ramen tent, so we waited behind them. My friend messaged me that she was on her way, so I made sure to also get her some ramen. I thought ordering 5 bowls of ramen was a lot. It wasn't because it was for 5 people. The person behind me ordered 9 bowls and I think it was just 3 in the group!!! Then we got yakisoba and mochi. This year we didn't do the mochi pounding because it was not so organized like the previous years. I played ball bingo because my aim is quite good. I was given 5 balls and I was able to get double Bingo while holding Amaya in one hand. I was able to get two prizes and to play was just 10czk so it was a great deal. At the same tent, they had some items for sale. I couldn't pass up an onion chopping machine and a new Uniqlo jacket for kids. Each was just 50czk, so for the jacket it was a steal! I'm hoping that next year the weather will be better and there will be better food choices like the year before.
