Waiting with impatience, sakuras finally blossomed in Tokyo in full power. With weather's cooperation we had a sunny/cloudy Sunday with a bit wind from time to time but no rain, which iwas perfect for a "hanami" (cherry blossom appreciation) "takai" (gathering).
Hanami gathering is a multi-functional event in Japan:
it's the ritual to welcome the arrival of spring and to reiterate the philosophy of savouring the beauty in life; an occasion to get out of the office for the round o'clock Japanese salary class; an opportunity to build a sense of "solidarity" between bosses and their employees or between colleagues; a chance to make a perfect eating-drinking-laughing-fulling around party among friends... In short, it's PARTY TIME, and you'd not want to miss it!

Spring is my favorite season,but its period is very short.
It aroused my travelling mood......
Dear Tracy,
I can understand your feelings, and I'm sorry that you didn't get to see the peach blossoms last weekend. Maybe they'll still be there this weekend?!
