Yesterday I met with my friend in Osaka. He went to Obama city in Fukui prefecture. Obama city is famous in its ridiculous act made during America’s president election. Obama city made a big campaign during this election supporting Obama just because the name is same. They also made up a lots of souvenirs with illustrated president Obama’s face in it, I don’t know whether the president accepted or not.

My friend gave me this Obama manju yesterday. Isn’t it funny?
