Enjoying spring



To unwind a bit and clear my head of a thesis-related problem that's been bugging me for days now, I spent some time this afternoon walking around Albert Park which is very close to the university. The flowers are now in bloom and we have been experiencing fantastic weather since last week. The abundance of parks is one thing that I appreciate here in New Zealand. In Japan, there are plenty of parks, too, and I remember that in the spring, the parks there are teeming with people enjoying the "hanami" or the spring picnics under the cherry blossom trees. Spring is very beautiful in Japan because of the cherry blossoms. The New Zealand spring has its own charm, nevertheless. I haven't been to other parks this spring except Albert Park but for sure, there are many other beautiful things to see.
