15 yrs ago I was only dreaming about seeing cicadas

10 yrs ago I saw and heard a herd of them in Malta

5 yrs ago I heard them in our part of the black sea

... and now we have them in our forests too. we don't have the sakura tree but I can cheat a bit and next year I can go walk trough cherries trees when they blossom w/ my catana handle umbrela and re-live one of the many animes that have such sceenes ^,^
