Cherry Blossom Festival

Japanese cultural festival called Cherry Blossom Festival was held in Japan Town, San Francisco on April 12th 13th 19th and 20th. I joined on 13th and 20th. On 13th, I was with my Taiwanese friend, and hanging out with her. I saw a Japanese drum concert in the beginning. After that, we bought Japanese food at the booth, and ate it in outside. There were many booths around there, and most of them looked delicious, so it took a little bit time to decide to buy. I finally decided Udon. My friend bought eel don by the way. It was awesome. It was very hot at the day, extraordinary weather. San Francisco is famous for its unique climate, easy to change and difference among places. After eating lunch, I bought ice cream inside of a building and while I was walking, I met my other friend. We took a picture together, standing in front of cherry blossom tree. It was nice picture. Finally, with the friends, I went to see Ikebana exhibition. I dont have an opportunity to see Ikebana in my daily life even though Im Japanese, so I had a good incentive to my life.
