It seems everyone is currently in Japan for Holy Week and the highly-anticipated season for cherry blossoms. Originally set to be in full bloom this week, the new forecast indicates a week’s delay due to the sudden temperature drop last week. In Shibuya and some of the more popular tourist areas, almost every third person I encounter is speaking Tagalog that I find myself unwittingly eavesdropping on loud conversations.
