Hello everyone in OU,

We came to see sakura blossom last year from Columbus, and really enjoyed your festival and beautiful scene.

This year, we are going to HANAMI again, maybe on this weekend or next, since we saw Audrey said "The cherry blossom trees have started to bloom!!" in previous message.

So, do cherry trees have full blossom yet? Or anyone could tell me the estimated date of full blossom?

Thank you.

Hello, thank you for coming to Sakura Festival last year! I'm very happy that many people come to Athens such a tiny town to see sakura :D

Yes, now sakura is in full bloom. But it's raining right now and couple days ago... this is very bad for sakura.

So if you can come this weekend, it might be the last time to see beautiful sakura. Next weekend might be too late.

Hello,
this is Kohei Sato. I went to OU 2 years ago and then, JSA let me work as one of the JSA members. You also let me work for last Spring Quarter, too. I really appreciate you.

I could observe how Japanese should do for making Americans and foreign people interested in our cultures through Sakura Festival and International Street Fair.

Anyways, thanks for everything!

Kohei-kun,

Thank you for posting a message!! And, I'm sorry I haven't found out it until now.

Actually, I have to say "Thank you soooooo much" for helping the International Street Fair. You helped JSA a lot... seriously...本当にありがとうね。

JSA is always ready to welcome you back here. Please keep paying attention to JSA :D

こんにちは☆

夏の間のサブリーサーを探しています！！

アドレス: 55 N.Shafer St.
家賃：$330＋utility＋cable 約380�j

知ってる人がほとんどだと思いますが、今はアメリカ人の男の子２人と住んでいます。夏の間は一人はAthensにいますが、もう一人はいなくなるので、彼もサブリーサー探し中なので、誰がもう一人のハウスメイトになるかはまだわかりません。でも、おそらく彼らの友達になると思います。

家は比較的広いです。２階に男の子たち、１階に私の部屋があって、バスルームもそれぞれの階にあるので、別々に使っています。洗濯機も乾燥機あります。ミュージックルームもあります♪

キャンパスからは歩くと２０分くらいかかりますが、近所は静かだし、日当り良好、とても住みやすいと思います。

興味のある方、夏の間住むところを探している友達の心当たりがある方、連絡もらえるとうれしいです。

よろしくお願いします！

Health Centerが、現在のTail Gate　Parkのところに、移転するという話がありますが、桜のことを心配しているのは、私たち日本人だけではないようです。

こんなトピックのディスカッションボードを見つけました。

しかも、投稿者の一人は、桜フェスティバルを一番好きなイベントの一つ、と書いてくれています。
うれしいですね！

Cherry blossom trees are now blooming!!

Our festival is over, but sakura trees are still blooming beautifully.

I'm glad to hear that so mnay people both here in Athens and outside of OU are interested in cherry blossom trees here. So I just want to let you know
that the trees are now full blooming. Also the trees have been lit up from 8pm to 11pm everyday until 17th.

Hope everyone could have a chance to see them in this limited time.

Thank you,
Akina Fujii

Dear all,

Thank you so much for the wonderful time on this Saturday. I really enjoyed our SAKURA FESTIVAL this year. I hope everyone also had lots of fun doing Soran Bushi, Chorus, Kendo, Ensemble, Traditional Dance, Haruhi Dance, Radio Exercise, game booth, presentation at JCON desk, MC, PA, Lunch Box exchanging, fund raising, video taping, sitting at Head Quarter, setting up and cleaning up.
Also thank you very very very much for your support. JSA officers couldn't have done like this job if we didn't have your help. Thank you.

I think some teams are coming back at International Street Fair. Hope to see you there!

Thanks,
Akina
