Abandoned garden with tulips.

Near my house there is a small abandoned villa. Abandoned house are not what you can call beautiful … but their garden often are, while they are slowly returning to the wild. I took this pictures with my cellphone, so you might not see much, it just made me realize that tulips (those yellow and red dots on the picture) are in full blossom in this seasons. While you go Sakura-sighting in Japan, In Holland you go tulip-sighting.

Yesterday I went to my favorite Japanese restaurant with some friends, I tried this sake, which is the first Nigorizake I ever tried. I loved it! I paid 10€ (approx 1300¥) for a 0,5l bottle … was it too expensive? I’m asking the few sake lovers I know. I bought another one to drink at home … just for me *hu-huh-hu*.

  1. I’m going to do a post on this in a few days/weeks, since there are dozens of flowers I go to see every year here… I find a lot of Japanese people go, but rarely do I see other foreigners.
