Hanami by Day

The blossoms took Tokyo by surprise this year, exploding into petals a few weeks earlier. I took advantage of my day off to go have a closer look at Tokyo's hanami hotspots. You can read all about hanami on that link there. I tried to join Aala's hanami group, but it was all to no avail. And so, my modest camera in one hand and a bag of chips I didn't quite get to share with anyone in the other, I lazily walked up and down the park.  Here are some pictures taken at Yoyogi Park during the day.

It's times like these when I remember that I'm in Japan, and that I was born so far away. There's still so much left for me to do and so many new things left to see.
