[13 April 2018] 🌸榴岡公園🌸 やはり、ピンク色の桜方が好きです。 (: There are many kinds of cherry blossoms but the pink ones have to be my favourites. Tsutsujigaoka Park in Sendai never disappoints and just like last year, the park was filled with hanami enthusiasts like me. 🌸 It was also super cool that I bumped into a family of Taiwan tourists on the way to the park. Using my really bad mandarin, I told them about this park and pretty much traveled with them for most of the way! We exchanged Facebook contacts and yay now I have new friends from Taitung! 🇹🇼☺️ Bringing them there and talking to them really made me appreciate my mandarin education at school so much and it has motivated me to work harder so I could become conversationally trilingual! 🙃 I know I’ll probably still be unable to talk about the big topics of environment and politics in Mandarin and Japanese in the future but if I could talk casually to people and make friends from around the world with what little language skills I have - that’d be more than sufficient for me. 😌 so thankful for my education in Singapore 🇸🇬 Okay, but my thoughts on language aside, it was the wonderful company that really made my day and despite the chilly evening winds, we had a great time. 💕 #桜 #花見 #phyinSendai #phyinJapan #仙台 #宮城 #東北 #日本 🇯🇵 #traveljapan #japantravel (at 榴岡公園)
