Hanami.

So the gods of Japanese hanami [cherry blossom watching] heard me mocking the tradition to my wife - honestly, annual flower watching? - as the next day I went to school and my fellow teachers informed me that the lot of us were going out to the local shrine to check out the sakura.

So in the interest of fostering those good work relationships I of course headed out with. On the plus side, I went to lunch, drank beer and then went back to school. And got paid to do it. My job rocks.
