Hey ladies, this is soooo cool, we had six beauties here today - Olivia, Jacqueline, Hannah, Isabelle, Michaela and Breanna
(and me, but of course, I'm NOT a beauty!) - but only three main topics -
Number One (and you HAVE TO check this out) - "Terada Pond" - Join me on a walk around the famous pond!
I really think this is hilarious! No need to visit the place anymore!
Second (and to no surprise) - 花見 - chatting about the very old, Japanese custom, which got a bit out of hand in recent years. I mean - and just one question - is anybody actually LOOKING at the flowers, or is this just another excuse to get drunk?:
And looking carefully at what all the people are sitting on will take you to our last (and arguably the most interesting) topic of the day................................YES, THIS!
The famous, traditional Japanese "ブルーシート"! This raised a lot of questions: 1) Why is it blue?
2) What is the original purpose of this great invention?
3) Do any specimen ever managed to leave Japan?
Feel free to post your answers (if you know them, that is!).
Many pictures today, but than again, why not?
Today's tasty chocolate cookies - everyone was entitled to three pieces, not the whole plate!
And our "little story" - a really good one, I feel:
So, I advice you - better learn how to swim!
And thanks Breanna for bringing in the copy of the "Playboy Maganzine". I think it was totally okay, and I didn't feel offended. It's pure education!
Thanks for gathering - enjoy the Sakura
The "Master"
