People come to the festival to pray for business success and to buy an amulet (these look similar to a wreath) to hang for good fortune. There was also a station to drop off the one you bought last year so that it can be burned. Here is a whole wall of them.
There was a very long line to get up to the shrine to make an offering.
Of course the food stalls were endless. We settled on bacon and pepper flavored french fries. I did make Drew take a quick picture (excuse the blurriness) of this hot dog stand. The hot dogs were twice as long as the bun!
Overall, I think we mostly enjoyed people watching. Especially when someone would make an expensive purchase and we were able to witness the complimentary dance and shout that was subsequently performed.
