		Last week was time for the one thing Aomori is famous for (other than snow and apples), and that is its lavish summer night festivals.
		Aomori City's Nebuta parade is no doubt the biggest and most famous, with Hirosaki's Neputa closely behind, but I'm a little more partial to Goshogawara's lesser known Tachi-Neputa, and it's 7 story high mega floats.
		I like to think of last year's parade as the "Taishi-Neputa" since Steph's monk boyfriend at the time was kind enough to reserve a space along the route for us.
