Anyway, from taking the Toden with Yoon Jeong the other day (for an impromptu お花見)I noticed that there's a canal within walking distance from the dorm that is lined on either side with sakura trees. Given that sakura waits for no man, and I didn't want to go to go an on-the-ground お花見, I brought my lazy ass out for a walk. After all, this is my first (and only?) spring in Japan, I cannot miss going for as many flower viewings as possible!
It was absolutely gorgeous, so what was supposed to be a short trip extended for nearly two hours. One of the shortcomings of Man, or should I say technology, is that it's impossible to capture the whole beauty of nature. Try as I might, what I could capture with the camera doesn't do justice to what I could see with my own eyes. Doesn't mean that I didn't try to, anyway. =p
a normally insignificant canal becomes popular
if i were blessed with literary talents, i'd be waxing lyrical
満開!

bad hair day explains the hat
going out alone = trying to discreetly take own pictures = tough
i've a thing for lamp posts =x
look carefully. see the little white specks?
Before they all fall to the ground, I've plans to go to 新宿御苑 with Yoon Jeong tomorrow! Since we're intending to eat lunch there, I do hope that the weather will be warm and sunny. It will be such a downer sitting in the cold, shivering and trying to admire the flowers while eating bento. >.<
