Cherry Blossoms on Sunday

Today I was invited by a friend mine to join his Hanami party. This was my first time to ever attend a Hamai party in Shinjuku Gyoen. I arrived a little early in order to get some shopping done before heading to the park to reserve a spot. When I arrived in Shinjuku I was surprised that there were so many people waiting to get into the park for Hanami. After a good 20 minutes of looking my friend and I finally found a place and secured our spot. While waiting for the rest of the party we snacked on potato chips and other unhealthy snacks.

After the other two members showed up; we enjoyed chatting about politics, life in Japan and many other interesting topics.

It was a great day and it was nice to meet new people.
