Japanese Culture and Cherry Blossoms--Part II

毎年の春に桜を咲きますから、桜は春の象徴的です。その時にも新学期を始めます。高校の卒業間に桜の下で写真を取る事はさすが日本人です。そして、日本人は桜を見れば懐かしいに成ります。(私は高校の時に日本で留学生でした。そうですから、私も桜を見る事が懐かしいと思います。)
来週の週末に最後を書くつもりです。お待ち下さいね。
お質問があれば、メールを送って下さい!

Because the cherry blossoms bloom in spring every year, they are symbolic of the spring.  The spring is also the time when the new school year begins (in Japan).  Taking high school graduation photographs under the blooming cherry blossoms is a very Japanese thing to do.  Therefore, when Japanese people see cherry blossoms in bloom, they become nostalgic.  (When I was in high school, I was an exchange student in Japan.  Because of this, I also think that cherry blossoms are nostalgic.)
I plan to write the last part next weekend.  Please wait for it.
If you have any questions, please send them in!
