One of the few holidays will begin

from Saturday.
Although the 1st, 2nd of May are not holidays, the following 9 days until Sunday the 6th of May are called Golden Week in Japan. Quite a few people have a chance to take the two days off and enjoy 9 days off in a row. You know, 9 days off is a "really" long holiday in Japan. I can say that almost no one can take longer days off if you're working in a Japanese company.

Had a hair cut to start the holiday, and went to try another ramen shop in Ginza which is a very porsh area find such popularized food. Light taste easy to eat, but it was very good I think.

Have plans during the following week to do some travel.
Especially, I was keen to go for some volunteering to the places still struggling to recover from the earthquake & tsunami. Just for 2 days, but I hope I can offer the help that I can do. I'll try to tell you more information about how the sight is now, and how the locals are getting on.
