Hanami!

Saturday (5th) was Hanami party. Basically when the Cherry Blossom comes out it is time to celebrate natural, either by having a party with some friends or drink beer all day until you are wasted.

One of the people that Emi and I went snowboarding with was holding an Hanami party so we went along. Started at around 12pm and we basically chatted, ate loads of different food and had a few beers until it was late. In the evening when it got cold we went inside and played darts (strangly popular in Japan) and some Wii games.

Ended up getting home really late as after being promised a lift to the train station at 8pm they didn't leave until 1am (they had to take us home as we missed the last train!).

On Sunday nothing much happened. Emi got her hair cut a little differently - she now has a fringe. I really like it but the fringe keeps getting in her eyes so she tends to bursh it out of the way.

My highlight of the Sunday was watching the Brahrain F1 was. in case you didn't see it it was a disaster for Lewis Hamilton who got a bad start and then ran into the back of his old team mate on lap 2. His cars aerodynamic parts were damaged enough that his fastest lap ending up being 2.5 seconds slower that the fasted of the race!
