SAKURA Season

sakura season!!:D
in japan, from the end of March to the beginning of April, cherry blossoms come out so beuatifully, and people gather under the trees, have lunch or dinner, drinking,,, and so on.
its japanese culture, or bettter to say custom・・? whatever,,,^^
this year, i went to see cherry blossoms THREE times.
usually i dont go so much, actually i hadnt last two years, but friends of mine from overseas wanted so much, so,,,^^ yeah, i had the feeling that foreigners enjoy japanese culture and traditional things more than japanese ha,
it sounds funny but kinda true~~!!
ya, it was them who gave me chance to notice the beauty of the trees, this season, and japanese culture

here, beautiful pics

Movies

id like to introduce two DVDs that i watched recently.
the first one is about a boy
well, im going to study in the uk from this summer, and there is a problem,,,
a friend of mine from the uk, and actually he is from the university i will study from the next semester, said to me that, which is "sarcasm"
means, he told me that sarcasm is a part of the uk culture and if i dont know that and go to the uk,,,well, it will be a problem.
and I, i was in a LITTLE BIT trouble to undestand it first.
now, sometimes i can get the idea, better than before. still far from getting it completely though.
since i was like that, my friend recommended watching the movie, she said it might help me little bit.
thats the reason i watched it. ya, it was fun, i liked it and it was helpful.
but it seems to take more time to getting used to the culture

and the second one is GO which is japanese movie.
this movie focuses on koreans in japan, and I am one of them.
so, the message the movie tells came to me,,, kind of DRECTLY.
especially this word,

「バラと呼んでる花が“バラ”という名前でなくなっても、その美しさと香りには変わりがない」

i cant tell what i felt from the sentence well (even in japanese) but certainly there is something.
