Meg's Spring Break Blog Post!
Hello, Meg here!
In early April I went to a Japanese event called Ohanami. It's a cultural tradition where you go and see cherry blossoms.
I went with the International Department members as an informal get-together.
I met up with Melissa at the station and walked from there to Omiya-Koen.
When Melissa and I got there , most people had already arrived, and a lot of food was prepared!
We ate Onigiri ( rice balls ) and a lot of sweet candy like chocolate, popcorn and chips!!
After a while Emilie came and we went to buy Jagabutter ( jacket potatoes with lots of butter). Emilie bought all 4 of the potatoes for us. Thanks Emilie, it tasted so good!!
After we finished Ohanami , Gab went back to his dormitory and Melissa, Emilie and I went to Akabane station and had dinner with a friend of ours.
We hung out till about 10pm because the next day Melissa went back to England, so it was are last day that we could be together.
I miss Melissa so much but I had a wonderful time with her.
