Hanami

So yesterday was Hanami at the castle. For those of you who don't know what Hanami it is a festival that runs through cherry blossom season. Yesterday was the big celebration with Taiko (drumming), Eisa dancing (traditional Okinawa dancing) and Koto (Japanese harp/guitar). All month long there will be picnics under the cherry trees. Most likely I'll go with at least one of my schools and a few times with other Alts. Yesterday's festival was lots of fun and interesting to see once again (saw it when I was here in high school and also last year). Not much else to report. School starts again tomorrow and thats about it.
