Petersburg in late April.
Invited by the fine spring weather, the tree buds finally began to swell.
The number of newly infected people is still large, but the number is steadily decreasing.
Perhaps because of that, on weekends, the parks in the suburbs are crowded with people.
You can see people spending a relaxing time with their family and friends while bathing in the long-awaited sunlight.

Rome deserves to be called "Caput mundi" = the capital of the world, and fragments of various countries can be found. There are obelisks in Egypt, London-style neighborhoods, etc ... and even Japanese cherry blossom trees.
Why are there Japanese cherry blossoms in Italy, where there is no custom of cherry blossom viewing?
Its roots date back to 1959.
That year, Italy was developing a district called EUR on the outskirts of Rome for the Rome Olympics ahead of the following year. It was a district developed by Mussolini for the Rome Expo, which was supposed to be held in 1942 (EUR stands for Rome Expo), but it was not realized in World War II and the defeat and was left unattended. Was there.
The facilities have been refurbished and reworked to create a venue suitable for attracting athletes and spectators from around the world.
Through this Olympics, it was very important to show a new Italy that survived the tragedy of fascism and war.
Against this background, many high-ranking officials from overseas visited Rome during this period.
The then Prime Minister, Nobusuke Kishi, was one of them.
Four years after Rome, Japan, ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, has the same desire as Italy, which was an ally during the war, to "make the Olympics a success and appeal to the world how it has recovered from the defeat." is.
Prime Minister Kishi presented 2,500 cherry tree saplings to commemorate his visit, and these were planted around a pond in the EUR district, which is the venue for the Olympic Games.
Every year when the cherry blossom season comes, many Romans, style lovers, oriental culture lovers, and of course Japanese also come here to take a walk along the cherry blossom trees named "Japanese Promenade" and have a picnic. I spend a relaxing time relaxing.
Due to the corona wreck, we couldn't see the cherry blossoms in EUR last year and this year.
However, vaccination is gradually progressing, and nuvola (a cloud-inspired convention center by architect Fuksas) in this EUR is the largest vaccination site in Rome.
Hope you can resume cherry blossom viewing in EUR next year!
There are many buildings in Moscow that retain their old-fashioned look. Among them, the high-class grocery store called "Elyseeevsky", which has a history of 120 years, is probably famous.
"Elisséeffsky" is said to be the most beautiful grocery store in the world and is always listed in Russian guidebooks. The interior of the store has a neo-Baroque style and retains the history and atmosphere of the early 20th century.
Although it is a traditional store, it has evolved as a modern supermarket. It has been run by a supermarket company that runs "Rue Pulsar" since 2005, but very disappointing news was announced earlier this month. "Elisséeffsky" will close on April 11th this year because the ownership dispute with the city of Moscow cannot be resolved.
The Moscow government is trying to preserve it as a cultural property, but for now the future of the store is unknown.

There were days when the temperature exceeded -20 degrees even in March this year,

Normally, you apply in advance from the government app, but you can also apply from the vaccine center located in the fashion building in the center of the city.
