1 | Macedonia: Celebrating Sakura Becomes a Tradition | Masedonia: Lasa fomba fanao ny fankalazana ny ‘Sakura’ |
2 | Sakura, the annual celebration of cherry blossoms through display of elements of Japanese culture, took place in Skopje, Macedonia, on April 25. | Nankalazaina tany Skopje, any Masedonia, tamin'ny 25 Aprily ny Sakura, fankalazàna isan-taona ny famelanan'ny ‘cerisiers' izay fomba fanao any Japana. |
3 | The time slot was somewhat later in comparison to last year because the organizers did not want it to overlap with the Catholic and Orthodox Easter celebrations during the previous two weekends. | Somary taraiky kely ihany ny daty nofinidy raha ampitahaina ny tamin'ny taon-dasa satria tsy tian'ny mpandrindra hifanindry amin'ny fankalazàna ny Paska Katolika sy ‘Orthodoxe' tamin'ny tapa-bolana lasa. |

8 | In addition to that, Agnes provided subtle introduction in her own way by publishing a poem entitled Sakura [MKD] several days earlier. | Ho fanampin'izany, nanome fanolorana tamin'ny fombany manokana i Agnes tamin'ny famoahana tononkalo mitondra ny lohateny hoe Sakura [MKD] andro vitsivitsy mialoha. |

14 | Zoriv, another elderly blogger, published his Sakura photos as part of his report [MKD] on walkabout through Skopje center on a lazy Saturday, comparing local architectural and cultural features with foreign counterparts. | Zoriv, mpitoraka blaogy maintimolaly hafa, dia namoaka ny sariny momba ny Sakura toy ny ampahany amin'ny tatitra nataony [MKD] momba ny fitsangatsanganana nandritra ny Sabotsy tao afovoan-tanànan'i Skopje, nampitahana ny fotodrafitrasa teo an-toerana sy ny seho ara-kolontsaina niaraka tamin'ireo mpandray anjara vahiny'. |
