I went to the Japanese festival event in the neighbor big city. We have been there three times before so that we expected to have a great fun by experiencing the authentic Japanese cultural performances by the authentic Japanese people. However, this year the majority staff members and performers were Caucasians dressed up in a Japanese traditional outfit. It was a huge let-down. Please don’t get me wrong. I am fine with Americans performing Japanese cultural events. For the American who don’t know Japanese culture, it was a great event. however, for an authentic Japanese like me who misses the real Japanese cultural events, it was far from the authentic and that was why I felt sad about it. Maybe I expected it too much.
