Well, I guess I'll start this topic, but everyone else post, too!
Wasn't really sure what the toilet bubble was for.
Irasshaimase.
A poster I bought because I'm cool like that.
I really liked this bonsai.
A phoenix that was on top of the omikoshi.
I took more, but these are the pictures I felt like posting. Anyone else have some?
I believe the bubble is to keep little kids from using it. Sometimes they think display toilets are there for their convenience so they don't have to find the restroom. I've seen some with flat plastic covers, but don't think a kid would see that (or understand it) before it was too late. The bubble is better.
Thanks for the pictures.

I'm not in your class, but I was there helping at a booth and took a few pictures I'll share!
-- The booth! + students who helped + Mori-sensei: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/SaioDJ/JapanFest/IMG_0540.jpg
-- Group who did an Okinawa style dance: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/SaioDJ/JapanFest/IMG_0550.jpg
-- Omikoshi being carried by a group of kids: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/SaioDJ/JapanFest/IMG_0547.jpg (I didn't get a very good picture because I was behind the booth at the time :( )
-- Taiko group. These drummers were really great!: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/SaioDJ/JapanFest/IMG_0517.jpg
Those are nice! ^.^ I would've taken more pictures myself, but I only managed one lousy shot before my phone died on me. Should've brought my actual camera...ahh well. Did you get a shot of the kitsune guy?
Well, what I'm going to do instead is post links to the pictures. That way, you can all still see them.
So, here we go:

Hopefully this will work... Enjoy!
Yeah, it looks like posting images to forum threads is borked.
Please try choosing "Image" from the "Create content" menu, and create one that way. That should work.
Sorry about that! (^^;
Well, that was a fail. I used the insert image button. Wrong thing to do? Apparently so, but does anyone know how to fix this?




Actually, the toilet bubble is there so that they can do demos of the "squirting action" of the ウオッシュレット.
ウオッシュレット are truly wonderful devices, by the way, and almost every (individually owned) toilet in Japan has one. Once you get used to them, they're hard to live without!
