(Going to dinner by ferry was pretty good too - so was the boat ride )
Yeah...that was a great time. Video here for folks who want to see what it was all about. Coolest part about that was that we literally just stumbled into it when the guy at the front desk of our hotel asked why we hadn't planned to be there yet when we didn't even know it existed. Great way to experience a bit of local culture.
