Cherry Blossom season in Japan.

I don't know if any of you guys have heard of this, but in Japan, it's Cherry Blossom season. People get together and go to parks to enjoy the beauty of the blossoming blossoms and gorgeous spring weather. Once they arrive, they drink their @sses off and party hardy. Not your typical Japanese businessman image, but that's exactly what they do.

Cherry Blossom viewing party.

I didn't realize that this was such a huge event in Japan. We have quite a few ornamental cherry trees in Seattle. Some of them bloom in January! Their delicate flowers a reminder that Winter will end, even if not in this lifetime.

One of the things I like best about Asia and European cultures is their communal approach to and enjoyment of the seasons. Some how we seem to have left that behind as we got off the boat...
