After flying, sitting, and generally travelling for over 29 hours straight, we got some sleep and went out into the heat and humidity to see Nagoya. Why Nagoya? Two reasons: the summer sumo basho and the 2005 World Expo. We started the day by going to Nagoya Castle. It had two main buildings, one with exhibits, and beautiful gardens. In the afternoon, we headed to the Aichi Prefectural Gym to watch the Sumo basho (tournament). We saw some good matches, but the last one, when Asashoryu threw his opponent off the ground was the best.

This is Linda now. I just want to add that, personally, I found nothing exciting about the sumo tournament. We must have sat there for at least 3 hours and, the best thing I can say about it is--at least it was air conditioned!
