上の映像ではサンタバーバラのライフスタイルがよく理解できます。
サンタバーバラではSanta Barbara City Collegeという学校で勉強していました。サーフィンの授業を受けられたりしてマリーンスポーツを楽しむクラスもあり、とてもユニークな教育制度となっていました。海洋学を受けた時はみんなで海に行って、貝を食べたり、ホタテを解剖した後にバターで焼いたりしてとてもおもしろかったです（笑）
Don't miss out the best season for cherryblossom in Japan!
This year, you don't really have much time!!!
You want to know why?
Cherryblossom season became quite earlier for 2013! It usually blooms at the beginning of April.
But this year, cherryblossom blooms in March!!!
To appreciate the cherryblossom, here is a story for cherryblossom:
Cherryblossom is the spirit of Japan and has been loved by Japanese people for more than 1000 years.
If you want to feel and find out real Japan, cherryblossom is a MUST to see.
Like European people enjoy carnival before the Easter drinking and easting until they vomit, Japanese people also party watching the cherryblossom and drink and eat outisde and they miss their last trains because they are too drunk.
It's a Japanese carnival.
Numerous poets and writers spent pages and pages expressing their love about this flower. The oldest book wrote about cherryblossom was 1300 years ago. The book is called KOJIKI which literally means old record about Japan.
Cherryblossom is also a symbol of decisiveness. Cherryblossom blooms beautifully for only a week and the petals start falling down after a week.
You can only enjoy cherryblossom for a week.
It's a short and fleeting life. Samurai lived like cherryblossom, they fought decisively and they died. It's interesting that not many Samurai families used cherryblossom as a family crest since the life is too short.
You will find a street covered by cherryblossoms' trees, and they look like a wedding dress. I simply enjoyed the moment when I passed this street and melted away with these falling petals.
