Flash Mob for Japan!

Yesterday evening we tried out a new family outing - participating in a flashmob! Yakudo members organized several practices this past week and on Friday, we all met at the Eaton Centre, centre court, to perform our dance for Japan.

One of our Yakudo members choreographed the dance, along with the taiko rhythm and fue part. I had the pleasure to play the fue part. Alia learned the dance and Kyra kept me company. Due to heavy snow on Wednesday, Eric's business travels were cancelled this week and he was able to be there for the show!

With only a minor run-in with mall security, we pulled off a pretty cool flashmob! A lot of people showed up. Yakudo has a very big extended family. I'm sure the hundreds of people lined up at the Apple store for the new iPad2 were happy to have a little entertainment while waiting their turn!

Have to say that it was pretty cool to be a part of it. In japanese, "Nippon Gambatte" roughly translates as "Good Luck to Japan".

Our family's version of the flashmob.

Guess we can now say that we were part of a flashmob!
