Spring is my favourite season in Japan. After the cold winter, it’s wonderful to get mild weather and to start wearing lighter clothes. I had been wearing a down jacket during the cold period but yesterday I switched to my lighter Smith’s School of English jacket. I prefer wearing it to the down jacket because my school’s name is written in big characters on the back. People can see them as I go around Tsukaguchi. It’s great advertising for my school, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi, as well as the entire Smith’s system!
I can’t wait until the cherry blossoms bloom. They are so pretty! They are my favourite part of spring. I am looking forward to seeing them in full bloom at the next Smith’s event on April 6, when Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi and some other Smith’s schools will hold a hanami (flower viewing)party together at Osaka Castle Park in Osaka! There should be plenty of cherry blossoms there for everybody to enjoy!
