sakura.blossom

a pause from your travel tale.  you stopped by at the cherry blossom park on saturday after your museum visit in amsterdam. the weather wasn't perfect but the sun was shinning in the early evening when you arrived the park.
it's quiet, serene and surreal without many visitors. the blossom is awesome, may be not as dramatic as the ones you saw in tokyo but right here in your adopted land, this scenery is hard to come by and almost precious.
sakura blossom is very short lived, you have to catch the right timing, be at the right place and the right time to be able to appreciate this blossom.  just before you leave the park, you saw the memorial monument about the greatest earthquake and tsunami that you ever experienced together with the japanese people, march 11th that leaves a unforgettable marks (in a good way and a bad way) in your life.
