Qingqing: Huahua, I’m off tomorrow. If anything comes up, I’ll leave it to you.
Huahua: No problem! Do you have any plans for your day off?
Qingqing: The cherry blossoms in our community are blooming beautifully. I want to have a picnic with my family while enjoying the flowers.
Huahua: Why not go to a famous flower viewing spot instead?
Qingqing: It’s too crowded. It’s rare that I get a break, and
there’s a beautiful view right downstairs at my place. No need to go far.
Huahua: True. Anyway, spring is the season for flowers, and there are beautiful blooms everywhere, so there’s no need to join the crowds.
Qingqing:Exactly! To truly relax while flower viewing, it's not just about the flowers, but also about having a good mood.
Huahua: Got it. Next time I’m off, I’ll do the same — find a nice spot nearby to enjoy!

Donburi, often simply called don, is a beloved Japanese dish that consists of a bowl of steamed rice topped with various other ingredients. The word donburi itself actually means “bowl” in Japanese, but it has come to represent much more than just a vessel.
