Cherry Blossom Trees


Soco in front of Cherry Blossom Trees Posted by Hello

Believe it or not, cherry blossom trees only last a week here. So when they bloom, it is truely special. The Japanese hold lots of festivals during this time of year. Last week, there was a cherry blossom festival on base and there were literally hundreds of thousands of people! It was so packed! It was funny to see all the Japanese people carry back boxes of American pizzas. A lot of them were even taking pictures of the drive-thru window at McDonalds! Hehe It was really strange.


Japanese Picnic under the Cherry Blossom Trees Posted by Hello

I try to enjoy the cherry blossoms while they last. Some Japanese feel the need to picnic under these trees.
