hanami, sakura and spring

Lately in japan, spring has already came with blossoming of sakura (桜） - cherry blossoms. In japan, the tradition of hanami (flower viewing花見) has been kept since the nara period of years 710-794. What they basically do is, when you notice the sakura is out and blossoming, everyone would go to places like ueno kouen (ueno park) and find a place to sit, where you can view the sakura well and bring some food and munch in.

Sky tree also known as the new tokyo tower, is the new broadcasting center of japan. It basically replaces tokyo towers job, but better signal and the inputting of the new digital television usage in japan, where all analogue TV becomes useless. (so plasma TV, LCD is needed).
