Well it is that time of year again in Japan, 5 consecuitive holidays spread out over a week and a half. This time is known as golden week. I think it is because the price of travel essentially doubles and people spend a lot of money traveling. But anyways, it is a vacation.
Living in Tokyo, I have been seeking out cheap places to buy food and furniture. As easy as that seems, it is quite difficult. So I recently, as much as I hate myself, Ikea is an amazingly cheap haven. Even in Japan.. Another haven I have found, Costco! Same as in the good ole US, with the exception of a larger alcohol selection and some japanese products. The only thing that sucks about both of these is that they are over an hour away..
As it is golden week and everyone is vacationing, I think it is fitting I leave this desert. I was asked to help out at a camping/outdoors event at the base of Mt. Fuji. I am not for sure what it entails yet, all I know is it is on an organic farm and near an onsen. All it costs is the travel to get there, so I am leaving tomorrow morning. Should be fun.
On a side note, I have made some long needed changes to my blog.
On another note, I have upgrade to another blogging system…
