Today was such a full day. It is the week end and I can't just sit in my room doing nothing.
The weather was sunny and warm..that was great! So I went out for a walk and luckily found some nice sakura trees that are still fighting for survival!
I think anyone who sees me will guess that I am seeing Sakura for the first time, because I took like 3 or 4 pictures of each sakura tree I pass by! Actually I think that I have no problem in traveling all over Japan and taking pictures for all Sakura trees! I just love this tree so much... a new OTAKU category : sakura otaku(^_^)
At noon time, I was supposed to go to the AKAMON to meet S-san ;a participant in the Japan delegation that came to Jordan last September.
I haven't tried to go to the Hongou campus alone so far, so today was my first time and it was such a big success!^^
This is the Tokyo metro map.
All I had to do is to go from Shibuya station to Akasakamitsuke station by Ginza line(orange), then change to the Marunouchi line(Red) and go to Hongou san choume station. A walk for 7 minutes then here you are in front of the AKAMON. You can see on the map above.
This is a good chance to introduce a great website that tells you about all the possible routes from a source to destination, then the decision is up to you (according to cost, time, number of transfers...). Click here and try it! (Press the "english" button after you open the page).
I think it will be very useful for anyone new to Tokyo metro.
The sakura trees were in their HAZAKURA state(when it starts loosing blossoms and leaves start to grow), so with each breeze a sakura snow falls on us.
That was really fun, thank you minna!! ( ^_')b

The AKAMON (Red gate). It is one of the Tokyo University gates. This one is very famous..more famous than the main gate itself. A lot of people come and take pictures of it.
There, S-san introduced me to a group of friends and we did OHANAMI. I was really glad to do my first OHANAMI in TOUDAI Hongou Campus!The sakura trees were in their HAZAKURA state(when it starts loosing blossoms and leaves start to grow), so with each breeze a sakura snow falls on us.

OHANAMI
Sakura on my way back near my lodge
On my way back, I entered KOMABA KOUEN(Komaba park) for the first time. Its a park near my lodge.
I discovered some sakura trees that look like they had their MANKAI(full bloom) yesterday. I took some pictures but they weren't good because it was a little dark.(I wish I had entered this park from the beginning!!!).
So I decided to go there tomorrow very early in the morning and take good pictures before the blossoms disappear.

I'm a fan of your blog, Ms. Amani.
I think your English is pretty good, as well as your fluent Japanese!!
How long are you going to stay in Japan? I hope you will enjoy your life here. But please be careful of bad guys here! Security in Tokyo isn't as good as it used to be before......(^_-)-☆
Sorry I don't mean to threat you, actually, the security in Japan is generally good. You don't need to worry about it in your daily life.
I am worried maybe you will be seduced by bad guys, because you are pretty. So just be careful of guys on the street saying hi to you!! (^_^)
