Yo-Yo Balloon ヨーヨー釣り




Ever heard of Japanese yoyo fishing? It's a popular game found in mid-summer festivals all over Japan. The goal is to use a paper clip to hook a water-balloon floating yoyo in a shallow pool. Sounds easy, right? Not quite. Since the string attached to the clip is made out of paper, the trick is to "fish" out the yoyo before the paper sting gets wet and breaks. We will feature this fun game at the charity event! Come and play with us!

For more general information regarding yoyo fishing, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l75o34zEmM&feature=related (40 sec video) and http://www.yoyoballoons.com/pdshop/shop/custom.asp?recid=4.

General Information in English

Title: 5/7/2011 (Sat): Japan Earthquake Relief Garage Sale (a charity rummage sale)

We are pleased to announce that on Saturday May 7, 2011, the Japan Society of San Diego and Tijuana (JSSDT) is hosting a charity rummage sale to support victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

The massive earthquake that hit Japan in early March this year may have caused over 27,000 casualties, and more than 130,000 people are being housed in shelters. The damage caused so far has been estimated in excess of $200 billion dollars.

Despite this tragedy, Japan is slowly making efforts to recover from the devastation. Although we reside on the other side of Pacific Ocean, the Japanese researchers in San Diego are committed to giving their support. The Japanese Researcher Network in San Diego along with JSSDT will hold a “Japan Earthquake Relief Garage Sale” to raise funds. All proceeds will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross. We will have household goods, handmade crafts, clothing, toys, books, small furniture, cookies, etc. for sale at the event. We also feature some rare Japanese items that are unlikely to be found at regular rummage sales. Please do not miss this opportunity to participate in this fun and unique event!

Please pass this along to your friends and family, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Hop, Step, Jump for Japan!
Many thanks---ARIGATOU!
