So tonight Alden and I went to downtown Oakland to get some dinner and there was a huge opening for some Japanese restaurant. We were drawn over by the sound of Taiko drumming and then the sumo wrestling began. They had 4 world champion sumo wrestlers (one of them 450 pounds, just huge) and we were standing RIGHT THERE watching them wrestle. When they were done they let the kids wrestle them. Alden went just about last and he was the only kid who really was fighting! Pushing the guy around! It's amazing. This man weighs 350 lbs to Alden's 40 lbs and bested the other three wrestlers. I'll add his name when I get it but the announcer says it. Look out for Alden!
The sumo wrestler is two-time world champion Byambajav Ulambayar.

That's hilarious! I was fearing for the sumo wrestler's safety, especially when you consider Alden's height (eye-level with, well, you know).
Wooooooooo! That was amazing, we loved it! We're laughing so hard tears are coming out.
