Hiroji: Well, Grayson, the thread is well under way.
Grayson: Indeed, and nothing could be more predictable than VANCOUVER and TOKYO vying for the #1 position; not for nothing do millions of tourists visit these spots yearly to revel in the aesthetic marvel of nature's gentle fireworks,
Who else might we see in this Cherry Blossom thread, Hiroji?
Hiroji: We very well could a dozen competitors from all over the globe, Grayson.
We're always looking for the city of WASHINGTON DC to represent itself well.
PARIS in spring is a clichê of beauty, and it's perhaps the most-photographed city in the world, so a no-show from from the City of Light would be a shock.
And one can never count out the ancient city of HOKKAIDO, nor Canada's fruit-laden OKANAGAN VALLEY.
Grayson: Any dark horses, any potential surprises, Hiroji?
Hiroji: PUSAN, SOUTH KOREA, for one. And COPENHAGEN, though better known for another flower, has lovely cherry blossoms. As well as various locales in SPAIN and the UNITED STATES.
Grayson: INDIA? GERMANY?
Hiroji: Both hold their own in the cherry blossom stakes, perhaps not quite Vancouver and Japan tier, but beautiful in their own right.
Grayson: Past threads have witnessed entries from such unlikely candidates as ICELAND and BRAZIL.
Hiroji: And satisfying entries they were, Grayson.
Grayson: Very much so, very much so. A great deal to anticipate in the coming days...
