Golden week...

Well that wonderful time has come and gone...luckily the golden week days fell on my days off so I was able to relax for a while. Golden week basically is about 5 days off in a row for all people (except for shop/retail workers...don`t forget the Japanese are the biggest consumers in the world!!) so everyone goes nuts and go on super expensive holidays and lots of shopping. Who says a Government, economy and tourist industry can`t work together in earning serious big bucks!!??

The weather as stated by Mr Paul of Kirin City fame is always nice, as in weather wise. So people are always out enforce no matter where you go.


Anyways Michiyo and I after a quick lunch at Kirin City headed to Kamakura which turned out to be a huge mistake as half the foreigners in japan along with half of the Japanese population seemed to be there, hahahaha...still we had a good time, we went around a temple, ate lots of the local delicacies...then rolled home a bit hot and tired but a happy chappie!
