Cherry blossoms, farewells and Japanese beer posters...





Photos:
  • Top left: My housemate's farewell dinner, the night before she headed off to Australia.
  • Top right: My coworker Kenny's farewell dinner with students at a yakitori place in Omotesando. We all thought it was his last day of work because our boss hadn't given him any classes to teach in April, and then found out two days later that our boss changed his mind and put him back on the schedule again...so I guess it was more of a "we're glad you're not leaving" dinner. :)
  • Middle left: Char and I made my annual trip back to Shinjuku Gyoen to see the cherry blossoms last Thursday. (See last year's posts here, here and here if you want to see more photos.)
  • Middle right: Good thing the garden is so ginormous; there were people everywhere, even on a weekday, out celebrating ohanami (cherry blossom viewing parties).
  • Bottom left: another shot from the same garden
  • Bottom right: not exactly related to the other photos, but I get a chuckle out of the ads in Tokyo for a new kind of beer: "BEER FINE"
