Hadaka Matsuri - Nakedmashou!
Stirling, Pete, Dave, Tom Smith and I travelled to Okayama for the naked man festival. None of us had really thought this through or done any research. Hell on earth is the only way i can describe it. We braved the elements with a loin cloth (fundoshi) wedged up our arse cracks to keep our dignity and any body warmth left. We then ran around the streets 3 times being drenched in freezing cold water by sadistic old ladies at the side of the road. Then through a pool of water three times and then into the mass orgy of naked men to fight for a couple of sticks. I can't describe it. It was painful and dangerous. I almost passed out at one point. I would probably do it again but I need a year to pass in order to forget what it was like. An amazing but weird experience.
