I hope you can come some day. And there's nothing like the magic of the cherry blossoms, which only last a couple weeks or so. In Japan both the school year and fiscal year start on April 1st, so the cherry blossoms are a symbolic of a new beginning and remind us of the fragility of the human existence.

That is so beautiful.

Out of interest, what do you teach over there in Japan. I would hazard a guess at English, but I don't want to be presumptuous.

Bingo. But my background is in transportation engineering (2 degrees in civil engineering).

How do people not breathe in the petals saturating the air? It seems like you could suffocate in one of those petal "blizzards". It is nice to look at though.
