    Manko Waterbird and Wetland Center

    I like free so when I learned that I could visit the Manko Waterbird and Wetland Center for free, I went for it. The thing is that it required a bit of trekking, sidetracking and cautious crossing to get there. If you have a car, you can be there in a jiffy. If you’re going by the Yui Rail, it might take some time to get there, but it’s do-able, nonetheless.

    Cherry Blossoms at Yoyogi Park

    Having seen the cherry blossoms in Okinawa, I couldn’t understand the hype over hanami or cherry blossom viewing. I found the dark pink flowers overrated. To think that people would actually look forward to these flowers blooming annually, I couldn’t help but to find it a tad bit strange and a tad bit ridiculous. They were just flowers that were nice to look at but nothing of the extraordinary.
