Winter to Spring

.....and within a matter of days, winter turns to spring. Skies are brighter than before. We eagerly await the arrival of the sakura, the cherry blossom bud-burst is forecast for March 25th. We, 130 million of us are ready to sit under the trees and bbq precooked prawns and yakitori (chicken on sticks) with our friends and family. Hanami (cherry blossom watching) as it is known, prepares us for the new Japanese fiscal and educational year. Kampai!
