Asa+Ban= Taylor's Asaban Festival 2010

Taylor's Asaban Festival (TAF) 2010

Official Poster

Are you free on the 28 August 2010? If you are then the good news is.....yes that's right, Taylor's Asaban Festival! 


If you have interest in the Japanese culture, love anime, love cosplay, love manga, love Bon Odori dance or even love sushi then you have to attend this event scheduled to be on the 28 August 2010. However, if the Japanese culture doesn't really appeal to you then there are a few more reasons why you should attend this event. 


First of all, do you like photography? If you do then this festival will be the place to snap, snap,snap and snap interesting pictures which later on you can yak, yak, yak about it to your friends or even on your blogs. Next, just come for the fun of it! There is a long list of activities going on that day. Just to name a few there will be, Matsuri, Bon Odori dance, Doujinshi booths, Art, Singing, Games and Cosplay competition. 


Alright, I know it will take more than that to convince you. You might say night events are not your type but Asa means 'day' and Ban is 'night' which means this festival is from day to night, so if you prefer daylight then go during the first half of the day and if you are a late night lurker then go when it gets dark. 


Details can be found at their website, here is the link: Taylor's Asaban Fest.

How to get there on that day? I suggest you ask a few friends to go so you can car pool with them. If nobody seems to know about it or not interested then just start yakking about how awesome it would be to attend until they agree with you. However, if the yakking failed then there is always public transport. Ever taken the LRT? 

Train Schedule

You might be wondering why is this yakster trying to convince people to attend this festival. Just for your information, no, I am not from Taylor's and no, I am not doing an advertisement for them. It is just that I have attended various similar Japanese culture events and each and every one of them was worth the time. Just recently, HELP University College organized C2AGE at Tropicana City Mall and it was a day of fun filled activities. (which the yakster didn't yak about during then, so here she is trying to yak about it now)

Witness anime characters come to live- Cosplay

Capture beautiful figurines

Watch the action but not on television

Take picture with pretty girls (not the yakster but the one next to her)

Get freaked out by this 'thing'

All the pictures were taken during C2AGE, you would have to attend Taylor's Asaban Festival to experience the real thing and take pictures by yourself. Go on, yak about it to your friends, family or strangers. (which is what I am doing right now, just yakking about it) 

Remember this important date 28 August 2010, Taylor's Asaban Festival.

PS: If still nobody to go with after all the yakking then we go together! (haha, I don't think anyone wants to go there with the yakster, I bite)
