The weather couldn't be more perfect here in Tokyo. Spring has arrived and so have the cherry blossoms. Yesterday we joined the masses and had ourselves a little hanami party in Inokashira Park - this is one of Tokyo's prime cherry blossom viewing spots and it just happens to be our backyard. The party started at 9:30 am, well actually I was minding our party spot from this early hour and the revellers started arriving from about 11am. Darin and I were joined by Matt and Kim and a bunch of their buddies, a bunch of friends that I studied with, our local pals Tyler, Jamie, Bernie, Yoshi and Josh from Bondi Books and Martine popped in for a quick visit. It was a big day. Check out my Hanami 2004 photo gallery to see some of our pics!!!

plus this
equals this
Those are beautiful pictures. I wish I lived somewhere with lots of cherry trees. I once went to Washington DC during the spring and the cherry trees were one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. And boy is pretty cute, too. ;)
