Japan: Springing Back

After all of the events of the past month, spring has finally arrived in Japan. I just hope all of the growth and renewal spreads to those who really need it. The last few weeks have been really tough and I was not very inspired to write here, but things are improving (at least in Tokyo/Yokohama) and I've actually left my house and started to get back into doing things.

One of these things happened this past Friday, my husband and I went to the Ueno Zoo which had just reopened that day. The zoo just got two new giant pandas earlier this year and the cherry blossom trees in the area have also started to bloom.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Me, lol I look tired.


Hope you are all having a wonderful week, I have more posts in the works.
