Sakura

Honestly, I never though of seeing sakura is such a wonderful experience.

I blame it to my irrational hate for pink. Don't ask me why, I can't even explain why I got so irks by this half-red, half-white colour. Maybe it is neither here or there so I hate it. And yes, my fav colour is red. kthxbye.

Ok, back to topic. So viewing the sakura is totally unexpected! Sakura bloomed extremely early this year by a shocking 10 days! So when we reach Tokyo on 22nd March. It is mankai! And to my surprise, they are actually more white then pink! And later on I realize that the pinker (and supposely prettier one) are late bloomers, it start to bloom after we left Tokyo.

And I have to admit, SAKURA IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! 

Will you look at this?????

We spend our days doing nothing but hanami all day long, and end up having little time to go shopping. But somehow we still bought back a full luggage of foods back. Women.

Hanami in action!

Foods make us super happy.

We camwhore all day long.

"Dango for you?"

"Flower-eat"

One of the most memorable moment is I went for night hanami at Naka-Meguro alone, as the girls wanna to get Tokyo Banana and shopping, I decide to head for some sakura at meguro after seeing cheesie blog about her accident discovery of Meguro.

Naka-Meguro

Did a google of it and realise that they have night illumination! I always wonder what so fun about night hanami since you can't see the flower in true colour... But Japanese always have a way to make it awesome, so I went with extremely high expectation. And boy, I m not disappointed. It is so beautiful I almost tear, and I wonder why do Japan love me so much.

Sep 2010, my 1st trip to Japan is full of discovery and eye-opener. From Tokyo to Mijiyama, it is trip of a lifetime. And I change my views of the world. I become less angry, more thankful, and most importantly, I finally come to the place I planned all my life.

June 2012, (impromptu) balcharlette trip to Osaka, I met an awesome friend Seiji. He show me to places that not much tourists had went to. Most memorable is the trip to Koyasan, where I got to see the tomb of all the samurai I read so much about.

Jan 2013, Honeymoon @ Tokyo. It is my 1st time seeing snow! I can't explain the excitement and even though it is a snowstorm, I'm still glad I witness the beauty of winter. And I finally saw Fujisan after 3 trip to Japan. What a beautiful mountain.

March 2013, Girls trip to Tokyo. Really, seeing sakura is something that is wonderful. I never seen something so beautiful before. And been surround by it make it so surreal.

Thank you Japan. Thank you.

And see you again.
