move how do you like the Japanese cherry
blossom I think they're pretty cool but
I have allergies so it's not very it's
pretty weird but I still like them
they're pretty right
I love them they're so pretty they're
pretty I like amazing I like the colors
I came out here to like vlog because I
have a YouTube channel and I was showing
people in the states like what the
cherry blossoms are so big question
what's the biggest difference in your
opinion between America or the States
and Japan
Gimenez safe place yeah it's a safe
place I think it's um the language
barrier
I don't know much Japanese like its
Japan is small smaller small much Maria
smaller language language barrier is
pretty tough yeah and to learn it right
now yes that's a lot more advanced like
in second technology because like I came
here and there was like electronic
toilets in America they don't have that
they have a lot of advanced stuff here
okay that's where all the questions
thank you so much oh oh this is a big
cherry blossom oh oh they're cute
they're cherry blossoms too
okay I have some of them I have those
please can I have two please can I pay
with yen - okay thank you
they're so cute can you see those
thank you thank you bye
the cherry blossoms are flowers that
connect Japan with America for many
years now the cherry blossoms in
Washington DC for example were a gift
from the mayor of Tokyo to celebrate
their growing friendship similar here
the US base is opening their cherry
blossoms to the Japanese public while
sharing their culture and food culture
everyone was in high spirits people
chatted and took pictures under the
trees my highlight was when five girls
that had prilae taken pictures with me
came back each of them gave me one pack
of the Girl Scout Sakura cookies I loved
so much I was so happy I cried alone
japanese-american nobody was too shy to
ask for pictures with whoever they
wanted to take pictures with like me
with Beethoven all in all it was a
wonderful day under the cherry blossoms
for everyone there okay guys that said
from the Yokota Air Base here in Japan
and as the director of Japanese has said
in his opinion this is the biggest mix
of Japanese and American culture on a
festival he has ever seen we had a great
time and I must say that moment when the
girls gave me the cookies was probably
one of the happiest moments ever I'm so
so happy all the people are super
friendly lots people take pictures lots
of people are like giving a smile saying
nice things I had a really great day so
