I haven't known how to pick up again with my blog after the last entry. Japan is going to be recovering for a long time after all that has happened and I was so angry with the media that I didn't want to write long rants in my posts. But I've been prompted by friends to pick up from where I left off with my adventures so I'm going to make a start by telling you all about Golden Week. It'll take a few posts I guess but it'll break things down - everyone hates a long-winded read after all, right?
Anyway, for those back home who have never heard of Golden Week, a brief explanation. At the end of April and start of May there is a cluster of public holidays. There are four in total and if you take two strategically placed days of paid leave from work then you can actually end up with ten days straight of time off. I didn't take any paid leave but there were still three consecutive public holidays the past week so I decided to make the most of them (despite a tight budget). So what follows is a bit of a run down for you on what I got up to.
