Ohanami (Flower gazing)

Today the AIESEC members and I went out for a picnic under the cherry blossom trees. Cherry blossoms have a short blooming period so the park was packed with people. We got a spot next the the soccor field which was a dirt field unlike what I'm used to seeing in Canada with grass and lots of mosquitos! Anyways, on occasions like these, drinking alcohol in public is permitted so we spent a good deal of the day sitting, eating and drinking. Actually, I've seen a group of grown men drinking alcohol in the middle of a busy train station once, and also in the middle of the airport come to think of it. So I don't really know what the rule is.

I also get to bike to work under the cherry blossoms. It's so nice with the petals slowly coming down on you. Why can't they stay longer???
