Too Much Sakura

Today was probably the peak-day of this cherry blossom season (or maybe tomorrow… or Saturday). The cherry trees along the Meguro river was anyhow very beautiful and the photo does not really do them justice. The feeling of walking in a tunnel of cherry blossom is quite amazing.



Many people will celebrate the cherry blossom by having picnics under the trees, eating and drinking and having a fun time. Although this is called “hanami” (flower watching) not so much flower watching is going on. It is more about eating, and especially drinking. This poor guy seems to have done a little bit too much of the latter (I “found” him on my way to the office :-))



Dinner with Emma and Martin

This week Martin has been visiting Emma. He used to work with Emma and me here in Tokyo, but has since then transferred to our Beijing office. I joined them for dinner today at Roti in Roppongi Hills.



The food was what I expected from a Roppongi Hills restaurant. It was fun also to catch up with Martin and Emma, though Emma I meet regularly in the office. And to practice my Swedish.

Dieting

I’ve been on a special homemade diet the last 3 weeks. I call it the “sick-to-the-bone” diet. The only thing you have to do is catch a nasty cold and keep it. When I went to the gym today – first time in 4 weeks – I found out that I lost 2 kg in 3 weeks.

It is more than 1 year since the great Tohoku earthquake and Ishihara-san’s group started to support Kobuchihama. To tribute the anniversary Ishihara-san had invited involved people to her home for some food and drinks.



Ishihara-san have two very fluffy dogs and they had a blast. They always had someone’s full attention.
