Hanami: Part 2
Monday, April 11, 2005 by Mariskova
Aaaahhhhhhhhh……… finally, Sakura flowers are blooming in Honjo.
-I(!) took this picture-
The Hanami party in Honjo has already been held on April 3rd –although it was without the flowers. The flowers blossomed a few days after the 3rd. We then went to see the flowers on Saturday the 10th near Honjo Waseda University. See below...
The trees are planted along the road to the campus and to the dorm. See if you can picture this out: shinkansen station, a river, hills, campus… There is a river which makes a small lake behind the station. This river is alongside the long-and-winding road to the campus and the dorm. Where are the hills? The hills house the road, the campus, and the dorm. What? You don’t get it? Well… (hmm.. I thinks it’s my prepositions… I skipped the class when the teacher taught that subject…) Then I think you’d better see the pictures…
Remember this picture? The light far in front (not in the sky! Below!) is from the station’s lamps (not some UFOs, you guys!?). The black curves are the hills.
See the small lake? On its right side (right side to YOU too!) is the station. On the left side is the sakura trees. On the left side of the sakura trees are the road.. of course…
B-E-A utiful sight, isn’t it?
See the road to the left? That's the road to the campus... The station is still on your right, by the way...
The road turns right to the campus if you come from the station below. We’re usually able to bike from apato to this point. It takes us 20 minutes by bike. Then… if we want to go to the dorm, we basically “carry” our bike up to the dorm for the road is climbing… up.. up.. up..
This is the road to the dorm. Perhaps 5 minutes by bike. It takes us ...forever... to go there!
And these are… us… posing… ;p
It was G-O-O-D to be able to enjoy the sakura when we had the chance. The moment I am writing this, the flowers are falling –as reported by Eja after his return home from campus today. Hope we can see them again next year….... aahhh…
PS: I guess I should've tittled this post 'an interesting and also tiring journey to Eja's campus with the chance of being able to see beautiful view of the Sakura and the lake, not to mention the superb Shinkansen station'............... Na-ah, it's too long and complicated, don't you think?
