President Obama's Big Day

Since the inauguration will be broadcast live at something insane like 1:30 a.m. Osaka time (okay it's insane if you have an infant and are grateful for 6 hours of sleep at night) I don't think I'll be staying up to watch it. However! I missed any and all Election Day festivities here in Osaka so I'm thinking it's time to do it up big! I'm thinking of cake. Or pancakes for breakfast (living on the edge Osaka style!). Maybe some balloons?

I'm desperate for ideas of ways or places to celebrate in or around Osaka. Thoughts?

  1. Isn't there a city named Obama in Japan? Maybe go there? I bet they're doing something! :)

  2. There IS! And it's actually not far from here as I recall. I'll have to look into it!! That would be awesome :)

  3. Why not try contacting the American Embassy in Osaka? They may have some events. I know a few people there through my work and they had an "election day" party in November.
