Jessica and I talk about two festivals in Japan, both involving fire, fireworks, and a smidge of danger. Jessica likes a festival in Wajima, Japan while I like one in Nagasaki called Shoronagashi. Here's a picture of a small float in a Shoronagashi festival in Sasebo, which, while in Nagasaki Prefecture is not Nagasaki City.
Then Jessica tells me about a famous lover's leap in the neighboring prefecture. Actually, lover's leaps tend to be for solo jumping so she calls it a famous suicide spot. With ghosts!
