You know you are at a Japanese free party when…

• … everybody is smiling, having a good time and randomly engaging in friendly conversations.
• … people you’ve never met spontaneously come up to you and offer you a beer (or a swig off whatever bottle of alcohol they are drinking from).
• … asking for a light gets you not only that, but also a brand new mini portable-ashtray as a gift (to you and surrounding Nature).
• … little kids and grandpas, dancing along with the rest of the hippie club kids, is the most natural sight in the world.
• … you are standing over the Kamogawa, surrounded by cherry blossoms, dancing to some of the funkiest, jazziest, house beats you’ve heard in a long while…

What a nice and unexpected way to cap a lovely hanami/easter picnic on a Sunday afternoon…
