Hi from Takayama

I'm Sanae. I have lived in Takayama for 4 and a half years starting Oct. 2014 till March 2019. I enjoyed living in such a beautiful city surrounded by mountains. Here is a blog that shares the happy times I had in Takayama.

My new place is Anjo, Aichi, but I'm too much in love with Takayama, I will continue adding some more infos about Takayama, plus I will be adding some updates about my new place as well.

Also, my life has been about "moving" everywhere!! Believe it or not, this was my 14th time to move and I thought there are a lot to share about my "moving life." There are some special things that I see and experience by living in different cities not just in Japan but in other countries as well!!

Cheers to new findings!!

さなえです。２０１４年１０月～２０１９年３月まで岐阜県高山市で過ごしました。山に囲まれた美しいこの町が大好きです。

実はすでに高山を出てしまいました。が、この先も時々高山インフォメーションをアップしつつ、近辺（愛知）の様子もお伝えしていこうと思います。

そうそう、それと
何を隠そう、今回の引越は人生で１４度目の引越！あちこちと動き回ったものです。遠距離への引越はもちろん、同じ市内の引越であっても、違う角度から見る空は、全然違っていて、人生をがらっと変えてしまうことすらあります。「当たり前」の明日が来ない生活、大変なことも多いけど、学ぶこともたくさん！そんな「引っ越しあるある」も時々シェアしていきますね。

いつ咲くかな when will they bloom?

We were walking home as  usual.

The Japanese plum (ume) tree were spreading its branches and twigs
towards the sky with uncountable buds ready to bloom!!

My daughter suddenly ran toward the branches and
screamed with joy
"all the buds are ready to bloom!!!!!!!!!!!"

There was a woman standing behind the plum tree to prune the branches
whom my daughter didn't see.

She just went on and on how beautiful the branches were
and how she's looking forward to see the flowers bloom.

Suddenly, the woman took one of the biggest branches
and gave one to her.

Until then, she didn't realize there was someone behind the tree ^^

She looked so surprised but of course her face quickly turned into a huge smile!!

We can't wait for the buds to bloom!!

古い町並みから、
いつものように徒歩で帰宅。

そしていつもの場所にある梅の木まで辿り着きました。
枝いっぱいについた蕾がパンパンに膨らみ、今にも弾けそう！

梅の木の後ろで、おばさんが枝を剪定していたことに気付かなかった娘は
突然梅の木の駆け寄り
興奮気味に
「わぁぁ、もうすぐ咲きそうだね～！！！
いつ咲くかなぁ、また見に来ようね！」
とおしゃべりが止まらなくなったのでした。

そんな彼女に「おばさん」は
「良ければ、この枝をどうぞ」
と梅の花がたくさんついた大きな枝をくださったのでした。

そこで初めて、木の陰に人がいたことに気付いた娘、
びっくり顔をしたのもつかの間、
大きな枝をもらってにんまり　＾０＾

いつ咲くかな、
明日から
明後日かな
楽しみです♪

      Hi Tomo,
      it's getting a little warmer these days but the temperatures are still below 0 degrees in the mornings. Meina loves flowers and bugs. She's so happy to live in an environment like Takayama where there are beautiful flowers everywhere!!
