The Sakura Are Blooming

The cherry blossoms have just bloomed and should hit their peak tomorrow or the next day before the quickly fade. However, it's been a little rainy the last few days, so it might prevent them from all blooming together.
Was an interesting weekend to see so many people in my local park (it's a tiny concrete park) who were having barbeques and family/friend parties under the blossoms (which is tradition).
I'll take some photos this week when it peaks.


We should be getting a few new teachers very soon as we had two leave last week and also have had only one new guy come but 4-5 leave since I arrived. (and then there're two more leaving in the next month)

Went to a 'welcome home' party for a guy on Saturday who'd been living in Aus on a holiday working visa. Was a night where I got to meet a lot of people I won't likely see often, as some live quite far from here nowadays.
I also met mate's girlfriend, who's from Melbourne. She's extremely fluent in her Japanese and was envious to hear her talking with everyone.
Ended up getting home at 12:30pm yesterday.


Nothing else to report really; just making an appearance.
