Sakura Time






The start of spring brings about the blooming of sakura, or cherry blossoms. And I'm not kidding when I say this place looks beautiful during that time. I could not get enough pictures of the flowers because everything just looked so amazing. The bad part is that it only lasts for a week or two. As soon as a big storm comes along the trees become bear again. Therefore Yuki and I decided to go for a walk through a section of Tokyo, with her friend Ai, where there are many of those trees.
An interesting tradition they have here is to have a picnic under a sakura tree in full bloom and get drunk. So that is just what we did.
