No one can blame Coco for not being cute. He is the cutest… Except for me that is 😉
Coco and I spent quite some time walking the small backstreets of Tokorozawa. Stopping once in a while to watch the flowers that start to pop up everywhere.
What better ways to spend time a Wednesday evening after gym and dinner than having a walk along Meguro river, watching sakura on a warm spring night? Right now I cannot think of any other better way.
This year Chie (åƒæµ) and I (与åŠ) have sponsored two lamps again. They hang almost at the center on one of the bridges along the Meguro river.
On my way to the office there are millions of cherry trees… Or at least that what it feels like in sakura season. Which is now. It makes going to the office seem less difficult than other days 🙂
It seems that spring is finally arriving in Japan. Coco and I had many chances to see signs that it had arrived when we were taking our walks.
Not only could we see signs on the ground but up in the trees as well.
It’s the time of the year when people in Japan go crazy. It’s sakura (cherry blossom) time. They find a place anywhere in parks, on the walkways or stairs. Wherever, and sit there drinking beer, sake, and eat food. And do hanami (flowe watching).
Chie and I walked to the Naka-Meguro station to watch sakura too. And to watch people. And there were so many people there it looked like Smile town in Harajuku during summer break. But it was fun and the cherry trees were at their peak blossom. Thousands and thousands of white and pink flowers.
And who can blame people for acting crazy when sakura is so beautiful and promising of spring and warmth.
