Went to see the Sumo last week at the home of Sumo. At the Sumo school, we got to eat Sumo food which is a kind of soup with everything in it. They eat buckets of this stuff and then have a nap. It's not easy though. They are often beaten by their trainers and that "dohyo" floor is hard when they hit it.

These days foreigners are some of the best wrestlers and one guy in the audience was upset by this and was shouting out that "Japanese must win". We got to see the superstars. The number two - a dashing tall Bulgarian - caught H's fancy and she rather envied the tiny lady in the second row who he landed on after winning his fight and following through. The Yokozuna (top dog) Mongolian Asashoryu just pushed his opponent out without too much effort. I liked the guy who instead of charging forward just took a step back and his opponent landed flat on his face but apparently this is frowned upon as "Bad Sumo".
