My Japanese Expreience (?)

My 3rd attempt of making sushi yesterday

Oha! Lately I've been feeling like a Japanese people. Why? I've made SUSHI. I saw my friend made sushi at my school's bazaar and I thought that it is kinda simple and worthy to try. But we don't use raw things like raw salmon. Even we want that in our sushi, the salmon is expensive and we don't have that much money either. So I used sausage, egg rolls and in that picture I add fried potatoes lol. But the taste was good XD

I did hanami even it is not in a real life. And as always I loooove watching animes or reading mangas. And I hope someday I will have the real hanami in that sakura land X3

You said HANAMI? Yep, hanami is taken from Japanese language which is means seeing sakura tree in spring. I guess that is the right definition of hanami. Usually, people have a picnic under the sakura trees. They party and gather with their family or their friends from their company etc.

My hanami at grand fantasia. Tee hee~
Wikipedia's definition of hanami:

Hanami (花見, lit. "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms or ume blossoms. From the end of March to early May, sakura bloom all over Japan, and around the first of February on the island of Okinawa. The blossom forecast (桜前線 sakurazensen, literally cherry blossom front) is announced each year by the weather bureau, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two. In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night. Hanami at night is called yozakura (夜桜, literally night sakura).


That is my story, what's yours? XD
Well, have a great weekend people!
