お花見

Yesterday, I went to go see the cherry blossoms in a park in Shinjuku. After eating lunch at an Indian place with my friend and her parents, we went over to the park. It was a lot bigger than I expected and had tons of cherry trees. Dark pink, light pink, almost white. There was an 'Amazon greenhouse', but it was closed. Then a French garden too. I was really surprised at how many people came out, especially since it started raining. My favorite tree was this one that had light pink blossoms and really dark pink ones at the same time. It was really pretty and really relaxing.





After that, Nobuko and I went over to Kameido and went to karaoke for a bit to hide out from the rain. Then we went to get our hair cut. =D I didn't realize how many hair-related words I don't know in Japanese. Like bangs and things like that. I'm glad the guy was really patient when I was trying to explain myself. It's really different from the place I go to in the states. They cover your eyes with a cloth when they wash your hair, two people blow dry (it's so hard not to laugh), then they do this weird head massage thing that feels like they're trying to pull your head off. Haha.

Anyway, afterwards we went to a cafe and Nobuko helped explain why some of the stuff I said didn't make sense and things like that. Oh man, that was an experience. Haha. Pictures later!
