Kodomo no hi : May 5 is officially Children's Day in Japan, but it is traditionally all about boys. On this day, Japanese households make a display of ningyo musha (Samurai dolls), prepare and eat special food, hang carp streamers (koinobori) outside the house, and sing the Koinobori Song.
- "According to the group's literature, Chino believes that an undiscovered planet is moving closer to the earth and will cause "cataclysmic" changes this summer."

It was children's day here in Korea yesterday.
I celebrated by coming out from under my bridge and capturing and eating a few.
Actually, it was weird. Any other freaking day, there are herds of the noisy little bastards racing around my neighbourhood shrieking and jabbering. Yesterday? An eerie silence. A pleasant silence, but somehow heavy with foreboding.
So far today, all is well.
