Hanami!

As you all know Japan is famous for its cherry blossoms. For a while in March we would see a cherry tree in bloom here or there, and yes it was pretty but we didn't know why everyone was making such a big deal about it. Well, we just had to wait for the 1st couple weeks in April. For about 2 weeks every tree was in bloom. Then we realized why everyone talks about it because it really is beautiful!

We went to a Hanami (flower viewing) party in early April with some friends from the school where Chris teaches. This is the same park as the one we posted a blog about earlier.

Yuta playing "Under the Sea" on his little piano thing. He was good!

There was a group of Chinese people who went all out and brought a sound system. They invited us to dance with them, so we did! :)

It was a pot luck style party with a lot of food and a lot to drink!

Cherry trees were everywhere!

It seemed like all of Tokyo was there celebrating!

So pretty!

A small park lined with cherry trees on the way to my school.

We had such a fun time and it really was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! Definitely a fun experience!
