I adore Japan and Japanese culture. This is dream country for me and I wish that one day I'll be able to visit and enjoy sakura trees on my own! 8/2/2016 03:39:05 pm
Who doesn't love Japan? How they care for their culture is really amazing and we can all see that up to now most of the other countries culture are dying but the Japanese culture lives on. I really wanted to go and work there for sometime, and make sure to visit the sakura trees and take a lot of photos with it. I wished I could have attended this Sakura Days Japan Fair, the Van Dusen Botanical Gardens is not that far but I was not informed. The photos in this article is amazing and makes me regret more for not knowing this event last year! 7/12/2017 05:28:17 pm
Japan creates most amazing anime series. Sakura was one of my favorites. I remembered myself when I was a kid. During Halloween days, I would always want to wear Sakura costume and do trick or treat at night. Or if not Sakura, I would want to wear costumes from Naruto Shippudden characters. And when I joined a cosplay party, I wore a costume of Tomoyo Daidouji, Sakura's best friend. Thanks to God because I was chosen to be the most fierce of the night. 6/22/2015 12:45:07 am
I like the seminars, as everyone can receive good information that will be helpful in their job. 3/30/2019 08:22:05 am
We all know that joining Sakura Days Japan fun fair will always be a good decision. Since it is decorated with so many stuff, the fair has been known for the excitement that it brings to people. Though the fair is already known for some, I am still hoping that it will get popular even more because people deserve a good fair and the fair itself is worth exploring! Once you get the chance to experience this, you will know what I am talking about. Huge thanks for Japan Fair Organizing Committee for making it happen! 9/16/2015 03:42:34 am

Incidentally, there is a common falsehood that long, slender fingers are a distinct advantage for pianists. There are many accomplished world-class pianists who have small hands. 10/20/2016 06:45:28 pm
