Riding my bike along Meguro river today was strange. It was like riding along a river of green tea. Never seen the river this colour before. It looked yummy 😛

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 :-))
Colorful Meguro River – Green
Hanami Party
I usually leave home around 7:15 in the morning to go to the office. This morning was no exception. But to my surprise there was a group of people having a hanami (flower watching) party a the Meguro river.
It was difficult to know if they had started the party exceptionally early or if they had continued the party throughout the night. Though it was quite clear that they were more interested in drinking and smoking than actually doing anything for the party to live up to its name (watching flowers that is).
Final Sakura Report
Full bloom! Riding my bike along the Meguro river on my way home from work. Always a little bit extra pleasant when you can enjoy cherry blossom (sakura), I say extra pleasant because it is always pleasant to ride home from work 🙂
