Rotary Event

Yesterday I went to my Rotary club's 花見 (hanami, flower viewing), except it was inside. I had a few sips of sake and beer but my club is pretty strict on that kind of stuff (sake>asahi>sapporo). We saw geisha preform, ate, listened to some violin or fiddle music, and played darts, I helped win good food for my table. There was also a boy-band like preformance with a few girls joining in for YMCA.

    That is...um, an amazing contrast to the Live concert below! XD The formal dancing looks nice. I've heard stories about the oh-so-aesthetic hanami parties before, glad that yours involved no brutal hangovers.
    Just think, Geoff, once you're back in Canada you won't have to wear a tie more than three hours in a year!

    Love the photos, Geoff! The blossoms are beautiful, and being surrounded by them and having them fall around you must be heavenly.
    Do they have a scent?
