Recently I joined a yahoo group call MIJ- Married In Japan and one of the members , Claire, sent me a link to this video
The guy in the video is Matt Harding and you can read all about him here and check out his website and follow his travel map here. Make sure you visit his site. His story is a pretty cool one.
In the video above the focus was on places, but now Matt Harding is travelling around the world again and this time the focus is people.
On January 27th 2008, Turtle and Koala were lucky enough to meet up with Matt and about 60 or so other people who like dancing badly. We all met up in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo, in this spot.
It was freezing cold. This event wasn't advertised.
Matt just sent emails to people who have subscribed to his website and then relied on word of mouth.
We had to get our picture taken and sign a release form first.
It was sooo much fun and we took some props to help get into the silly and fun mood.
Other people dressed up too.
We met Matt, who is an amazingly friendly guy. He took the time to chat with everyone and let us t ake photos with him afterwards.
The whole thing only lasted about 20 minutes , but I never would have thought that dancing badly (to no music) with a group of strangers would have been so much fun.
I reckon if we all came together and did silly things like this more often, the world would be a much better place.
Thanks Claire for telling me about this event and introducing me to Matt Harding.
Thanks Matt for dancing badly and sharing it with the world!!!!
MAKE SURE TO check out the website and keep an eye out for Koala and Turtle in the official video which is due to be released on June 21st, 2008.
Here is a short video of Koala and Matt dancing badly
UPDATE
MATT HAS RELEASED HIS 2008 FOOTAGE HERE
We are in the Tokyo group of people about 3minutes into the clip.
You cant really see us but maybe if you pause it at some stages you can see my mask in the back left hand corner somewhere
...but who care we are in the video and we were part of a unique and fantastic experience.....yay
THANK AGAIN, MATT
