Ogaki Festival

May

On Sunday I went to Ogaki festival. I`d never been to it before. It was bigger than I expected, with more stalls (やたい) & people than I expected. As expected, the stalls were selling the usual things - shaved ice (かきごおり), fried noodles (やきそば), corndogs (アメリカンドッグ) etc. My kids especially (とくに) like chocolate-coated bananas (チョコバナナ). In addition to other food, they ate two chocolate-coated bananas each. I was surprised - they ate much more than I expected at the festival. I hope this means they had a good time.

Have you ever been to Ogaki festival? What did you think of it?

Grammar:
- expect = 積もり
- as expected = 予想通り
- [adjective形容詞]er than (I) expected = (私) 予想より[形容詞]
- more [adjective形容詞] than (I) expected =　(私) 予想より[形容詞]
- more [noun名詞] than (I) expected =　(私) 予想より[名詞]　たくさん

A workmate told me about the festival. I was free that day & had never been before, so I decided to go & check it out.

Chi ga sawaru > blood touch > to touch the blood. In English we have a phrase "It touches the heart" but it`s not quite the same meaning. I think "it raises your/one`s spirits" is a better translation.
