Just a quick message to let you know where I’ve been for the last week. It was golden week here in Japan which is basically a week of national holidays celebrating various things such as the Emperor and children. Of course my university is anti imperialist and so we had a day less holiday than everyone else. Not that I really managed to get out anyway, it’s been raining non stop for the whole week and I’ve been writing a book review for one of my assignments. I really don’t know if I wrote what was required since I’m pretty certain my last book review went something along the lines of ‘I liked the book. The dog is happy and liked his stik. I want to read the book again’. Or something like that anyway. Zoo tomorrow!

I take it Golden week is like a national holiday is time when half the shops are closed or something? What's the celebrations (if any) like?
ReplyDeletei'm not really sure if there are big celebrations, maybe some places, but i think its mainly a week when everyone goes back home to spend time with their families. most stuff is still open really, it's not like southern europe where they close up whenever they think they need an extended lunchbreak
ReplyDeleteWe had a meal out for my birthday couple of nights ago in a Chinese restaurant, very nice. I can't believe I still look 25. Weather here is a bit on the wet side today. News = MPs in the House of Commons are starting to fall on their swords over expenses claims and the like. Jacob has first exam in college tomorrow. Just going to watch a programme about dodgy takeaways on TV.
