Sakura Festival

18 & 19th April is Copenhagen's Sakura Festival for year 2009 by Langeline, along the coast line, where a lot of Japanese activities are held in conjunction with the cherry blossom (in Japanese: sakura) festival. I was told that the cherry trees are so small that they usually don't blossom well in Danish cold spring but this year seems to be an exception.

I went there with a friend and is absolutely stunned with the magnificant view that I see. If I can describe it with one word, I'll say it's breathtakingly beautiful. 200 Japanese donaetd cherry trees blossom so well with white / pink sakura, you won't believe how many pictures I've snapped (and I still don't think it captured 10% beauty of the true scenario).

Here's some to share:-

After the festival, I was tempted by someone to go to Japan end of this year. Shall I or shall I not? still thinking...but I'll definitely go to the Sakura Festival again next year (if the weather is good)!

我在丹麦工作,快一年了。收到描叙您事件的转发邮件,随着邮件中的URL,才确定是您的部落格。上个月我回了一趟槟城,匆匆忙忙。下回若有时间,我想该去探访您。
