Sakura blossoms Sakura is out of season now.... I went to see the cherry blossoms in this April. Every year I'm looking forward to sakura. Maybe almost Japanese are too. There is a saying,' Dumplings rather than flowers'. Yes, I totally agree ! I had dumplings, grilled meat and potatos at that time. I'm looking forward to next season too ! P.S Karina, here you are !

Is it eatable? It looks like a tempura. But you can't eat it. Because It is made of candle wax. In Japan, It's called 'SHOKUHIN SAMPLE' I made it in Japan GIfu Gujo. If you come to Gujo, try it, It must be fun.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hi, I'm Tiare live in Japan. I like a trip. I learn 4 words to speak to the peaple there in their own language, before I leave. Those 4 words are as local words 'Hallo', 'Thank you', 'It's delicious' and 'Where can I wash my hands?'. But I realized : When I speak to people in a local language ( only 4 words I just learned in a few days), they were smiling and talked to me. But I coudn't carry on aconversation, so I had to speak English. But they could't understand about my English. I had learned English more than local words..... So I decided to learn English. I want to have a lot of friend all over the world, and please teach me English and yor mother language(especially these 4 words!). Thank you for your reading.
