Sakura Report #1
Soon it is sakura time in Tokyo. But still no flowers on the trees.
(Ab)Normal
Going to the office today I observed a two things, one abnormal and one normal. The abnormal thing was long lines of cars waiting to get to the gas stations. Both along Meguro-dori just around the corner from where we live, and one gas station just a few blocks from my office in Shinagawa.
The normal thing that I observed is that people are getting ready for Sakura just as usual around this time of the year. Along Meguro-river there is usually a lot of light. This morning I saw that they are putting these lights up this year as well. It was nice to see, though I wonder how we will cope with the cyclic power outage. Maybe just put them up without lightening them? Anyway, it was a nice feeling to see something normal for once 🙂
Come to think of it, there was another thing that was normal… I was riding my bike to the office 😉
Night Time Sakura
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…
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 🙂
