GOLDEN WEEK!!!!!

Finally 10days holiday!

At the beginning of May, there are several national holidays.
With a combination of Saturday and Sunday, it becomes about a week holiday every year.
This year, yes thank God, it's a ten-days-holiday!!!!!!

I noticed it at the beginning of this year and booked a trip straight away.

I tend to get super excited when I book the trip and become less interested in it once the departure day gets closer.... haha
To be honest, I'm not that super excited but I'm sure it will be a nice holiday.

I guess Japan is a famous country that people do not take a long holiday.
However, there are about 17 national holidays every year.
(UK bank holidays are five this year)

I'm curious why other country people can get like two weeks holiday or much longer....

Anyway I will sleep a lot tomorrow hehe
Hopefully I will post my trip to PHUKET soon ;)

cherry blossoms/SAKURA/桜/HANAMI

As you may have heard of, March and April is cherry blossoms season.

Japanese people like to start their year with cherry blossoms so the school starts in April.
Some companies start their business year in April.

The thing comes with cherry blossoms is Ohanami.
Literally means looking at flowers
It is basically a picnic in a park.

It is often said that the most junior employees, most likely new grads, have to go to the park really early morning to get a place for Ohanami.

I was often asked 'Did you do ohanami this year?' last couples of weeks but for me, honestly, this hanami thing does not make sense.

People say it is good to drink and have party while looking at cherry blossoms but what they actually do is only drinking.

Cherry blossom is just an excuse for them to have party and drink crazily.

Anyways cherry blossom is beautiful and I recommend to visit Japan during this period if possible.

Whirlwind Tour in Korea / 韓国弾丸旅行

Well almost two years ago.......
My friend and I went to Korea over the weekend
Flew to Korea late at night on Friday and came back to Japan late at night on Sunday

Main event was to eat darkhanmari.

It's really simple but the soup is really rich

Restaurant staffs cut the chicken just amazingly.
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of chicken haha
but this was nice.
When I went there, it was snowing but this hot pot made me warm.

Address: 서울특별시 종로구 종로5가 265-22

It was bit tricky to find a spot since the road is very narrow so the taxi cannot bring us in fron of the shop.
There was no specific sign to locate this restaurant
well since I don't read Korean
My suggestion is just go forward even if you feel bit worried haha

This is extra pic

I found my favourite kinder chocolate in korea!

I cannot buy them in Japan.... such a shame!

I don't think kinder people look my blog but please come to Japan!!!!!!
