Tis' the season for "Cherry Blossom Watching Parties" in Japan. Yeah it sounds boring, but its really anyhin but. Right now, billions of cherry trees all over the country are in full bloom. All the parks of Tokyo are whitish pink, and in some ways it reminds me of looking at snow covered trees. In Japan, the cherry blossom season is a big deal. Thousands of Japanese crowd the parks to watch the blossoms, or in other words, get really drunk. In true Japanese fashion, there are specific numbered zones in the park were you are allowed to sit, as well as thousands of garbage bins everywhere to make sure so one commits the deadly sin of littering. Some friends and I went down to Ueno park the other night to take part in the festivities. What a great experience!
We sat down next to a large group of Japanese folks. I think they were all part of the same family. As the night went on, they kept offering us free food and Sake. Later, a guy with a guitar came up to us and started singing the whole group Japanese folk songs. The Japanese we were sitting with were generously giving him 1000 yen bills all night. All told, he probably earned about 200 bucks!
