asakusa carnival 浅草 サンバ 祭 '09 (asakusa, japan)

Now, for me, it's always interesting to watch the facial expressions of elderly Japanese as they see newfangled, foreign things (and people) appear in society here. Some of the older men seem to complain about the debauchery, about the amount of tanned skin being shown in the streets- -yet when the beautiful Brazilian ladies blow kisses at them, they seem to stare speechlessly with mouth agape, smitten by Cupid's arrow (...until their wives hit their arms!)
