I normally don't do this but...

This isn't something that I'd normally consider blogging about, but something I definitely want to say! Please note: This is not directed at any single person, so please excuse the use of "You".

Hatsume '11. I want to get this out of my system.

 

I love going to the gardens so much.  It's so beautiful and peaceful.  It's so green, there are rock gardens, and it's quiet.

There are beautiful flowers and trees.

But yesterday, yesterday had to be the single most dissatisfying experience I've had.

Yesterday was just so frustrating!  Normally I love going to Hatsume Fair.  The gardens are absolutely gorgeous, and it's peaceful with the low murmer of voices, the occasional karate demonstration and the banging of taiko drums.  I've gone for the past couple of years and it's been the most enjoyable experience, and I look forward to it every year.  I normally leave after having spent tons of money in the gift shop, buying various Japanese goods (soaps, drinks, candies, tableware), and I'm content.
