A short break, ... Hanami (Flower watching), Drinking, Chatting, Eating a natural, Cultural event in Japan

From Sakura
The pictures are especially for my friend HU in Germany (:).

Since I came first time to Japan in 2005 I was always to late to see the cherry blossom and to join the festival called hanami (flower watching). The nice thing is that the white with flowers with a touch of pink flowers are in contrast to the black tree. The Hanami is celebrated from everybody from young to old, unemployed to bussiness man. Sometimes even the whole company joins the event under the cherry trees. It looks nice but unfortunatelly the trees will never have cherry to eat (:((.

This year I was lucky and can do both watching and joining the hanami party, just after finishing the roof carrier still having color at my hands from the painting. We started drinking early having the idea of playing badminton, it is quite funny if you are not so stable at your feets anymore. In the night we made a small fire and Shoko San one friend of us with her two kids, roku san, Guitar no Joe, and Kotmomis family joined.
