A
few weeks ago my boyfriend and I went to
the cherry blossom park in ‘het Amsterdamse bos’ a nature reserve in Amstelveen.
The park has 400 cherry blossom trees, which were gifted by the
Japanese Women’s Club as a memorial to the victims of the tsunami in
2000. Half of trees bear Japanese women’s names, while the other
half are named after Dutch women.
Last
year we went there too but sadly due to the bad weather all the cherry blossoms
blew away. ( ; _ ; ) Luckily this year the cherry blossom tree’s were still intact
and I was really excited to finally be able to have our first hanami pick nick
together! (^O^)/♡
