Hanami in Hirosaki

In addition to high schools, I also teach(volunteer) at my town's language exchange program for locals wanting to learn English. The age range is from 15 (one of my students) to 70 (an elder who loves language) and the attendees are all nice and friendly.

So friendly, in fact, that one of the guys from the last 2 weeks invited me Hanami in Hirosaki with his family this past weekend to peep the cherry blossoms. I was surprised at the invitation but kindly accepted anyway. I'm glad I did!

The family who kindly invited me. Hirosaki Castle in the background. For some reason the pics look photoshopped

A dope dinner full of food I can't remember but would love to have again

    Nick some cherry trees? British vernacular?

    And sakura was great. And I was fortunate enough to experience twice: once in Tokyo when I first arrived and then again, this past weekend in Hirosaki
