BR 04: Flying Pumpkins

 This annual contest's  unusual name is the ' Punkin' Chunkin'  Contest.' The aim of the contest is simple: to make a machine that can throw a pumpkin through the air.(P.6)

     Do you know  the ' Punkin' Chunkin' Contest?' I have't know the event before read this book. But reading this book led me to know the event. I thought American people enjoy not only eating pumpkins but also throwing them.



    In Japan we have a strange festival called 'Mukonage- Matsuri' which is held in Nigata. Bridegrooms who got married last year are thrown away from precipice to the ground covered with snow. This festival have been held since about 1712. It's very historical event. So I want to see those unique events someday!!!
