It's that time of year again in Tokyo. A time when you get together with friends, eat and drink, and view the cherry blossoms. For the past four years, we would get together at Yoyogi Park to eat and drink and see cherry....blossoms???? No, the past three years we got together for leaves watching - the cherry blossoms weren't in bloom. However, this year - it was a beautiful day and the cherry blossoms were in bloom. This year our group consisted of 23 people. There also was a free event which drew a fairly decent crowd.
あの時期がまたやってまいりました。東京の春と言えば花見でしょう。毎年同じグループでやってますが、この四年間、今年初めて桜が咲い気がする。去年気象庁が間違えた情報を流して、桜が満開になるのが一週間早いと伝えた。雨もちょこっと降ってたし、寒かったし、私以外に誰も居なかった。切ない。最悪。幹事の友たち悪くない、それは気象庁が悪い。でも今年、天気も良かったし、桜が満開になってたし、素晴らしい花見が出来た。
Still setting up our space / 場所取りが大事So, what kinds of food can you expect at a hanami? Just take a look below.
花見でどうゆう料理が出るって？下記の写真をご覧下さい。
Homemade! The person even brought whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and maple syrup as toppings. Delicious!
手作りです！作った人がクリームとチョコソースとメイプルシラップのトッピンングも持ってくれた。美味しい！

It was an excellent day for hanami. Although we were planning on heading home around the same time as everybody else (about 5:00pm), somehow a couple of friends convinced us to join them for karaoke. Home will have to wait for another couple hours. When we did finally managed to make our way home, we were stopped by these two characters (see below).
花見で最高の日でした。五時位に帰る予定だったが、何人がカラオケに行こうと言いだして、私たちもその流れで結局一緒にカラオケに行きました。あ～あ、家に帰るのはおあづけだ！やっと帰る時が来て、駅に行く途中にこの怪しい二人に捕まった（下記の写真）。
Next month it will be time for the annual Thai festival!
来月は毎年恒例のタイ祭りだ！
