Hanami(Sakura Watching) in Tokyo

This year I decided to join the Hanami gathering at Tokyo and I'm so glad I did. The park was beautiful! Of course, it was also totally packed with people. This event was held at Yoyogi Park in Tokyo. It was held by the MSAJ and also JAGONG.

My outfit of the day :)

How super pretty is this?!
To get a spot at huge parks like this, usually a few people will be selected to 'book' the place they want to gather and those people have to be at the park by around 6AM to make sure that they get a good place. If you've just joined a new company, there's a high chance that that person could be you. 

The Japanese will start to gather around 11AM and eat lunch together. There'll also be a lot of drinking and singing. The whole Hanami atmosphere is really fun. Everyone looks forward to it every year.

At our gathering, we ate Tomato Rice and JAGONG sponsored a cake. We also had a couple of games to break the ice.

So MANY PEOPLE!
