Sakura: BBQ fever strikes again...


Today Was super sunny again, and near my Dormitory there is a Park with Cherry Trees. This weekend was a Gift, because normally the Cherry flowers after blooming, disappear quickly. Since there has been no raining during the past week, the flowers are still on trees. No need to say that this weekend, too, the BBQ fever spread everywhere.

Pictured above in the first picture, the nice set-up that a Japanese group managed to prepare in just 20 minutes: Table, two charcoal grills, a lot of meat (see pictures below) and party mood. Another group on the other side of the fountain, was having a BBQ as well. It was the birthday of one of them. At first, the birthday guy got two cakes and a third one in his face! This was supposed to end there, but eventually the guy threw the (remaining) of the cake to another one, that threw it to another one...and so on. It went on for a while... in the end, i took my camera and shot a picture. Can you believe it? They caught me...that's why they are looking in my direction...

I noticed something interesting: The guys with the two BBQs, brought a third one that they used to warm up the charcoal first. The two grills on the table, have no active fire, but just the hot charcoal has been put inside. I found it interesting. To warm up the charcoal, they had a GAS tank. I feared for the worse when they were connecting the whole thing smoking nearby...but i guess they are experienced on this and nothing happened ;)

Other "amateurs" had a small sized grill, in particular there were three girls doing their own small barbecue...but man! how much did they eat? They went on barbecuing for a couple of hours...

The smell was really inviting: slices of meat with soya and sesame oil flavour... i should really go to have Yakiniku some time soon!
