Spring is Here!


As the spring season is finally started, the flowers start blooming and the weather is getting warmer. Last weekend, we went to Copenhagen Sakura Festival, held in Langelinie Park. The festival was supported by Japanese Embassy in Denmark to celebrate the cherry blossom bloom. The cherry blossom was donated by one of Japanese man, Mr. Seiichi Takaki and they were planted in that park.

Unfortunately, the weather was not nice when we went there, it was cloudy and a little bit rainy. However, we still enjoyed the friendliness environment, met a lot of Indonesian people, even the Indonesian Ambassador. Most of all, the Japanese food we bought from the stalls are delicious! We bought the yakiniku rice (the beef is soooo tender) and japanese curry rice (it smells and taste so good). Too bad we couldn't find the takoyaki that is famous for its taste.

Here's some of the pictures I've taken at the festival. Enjoy!

If you happen to notice that the color of Sakura on the first picture is pink while on the others are white, it is because the first picture was taken a week before. I found the beautiful cherry blossom tree near the Amalienborg castle. Apparently the cherry blossom turns color, at the beginning of spring it has pink color, then it changes into white and later on into green. I like the pink color better, though :-D
