10 Holidays

  Now, Japanese people are suffering from 10 consecutive holidays! ?
  In Japan, there is a consecutive holiday called Golden Week in early May.
Usually only 3 consecutive holidays will be from May 3rd to 5th.
However, in this year, April 30th, May 1st and May 2nd became national holidays
because the era changes this year. And furthermore, people who become holidays
for up to 10 consecutive holidays because April 27 and 28 are holidays because of Saturday and Sunday and special holidays are also on 29th.
  Many people go on a trip using this long vacation.
  However, everybody hopes to enjoy a trip at the leisure spot, so it is impossible to travel
if you have not booked a hotel for quite a long time.
  Perhaps there is only one such opportunity in life.

  Generally speaking, Japanese people work seriously, I imagine some people feel unconfortable
to spend this 10 holidays. Some people may feel stressed that they can not do anything and can not spend meaningfully. Actually, if you are working as part time job staff, you won't get money
while you are not working. So, I heard on TV that those who are working as part time job staff,
they are not welcomed this long holidays.

Sakura Saku

Now, Sakura is during the best season in my hometown!

The era of "Reiwa" started.

In Japan, there was a huge event today. There may be some people who know in the news. The era of Heisei, which has been used so far, has changed. In Japan, there are two ways of expressing the date, the Christian era and the era symbol. The era changes every time the Emperor changes. The history of the era is old, and more than a thousand years ago, Japanese have used the era. In the history classes of Japan, we learn various eras in the text book.
The present emperor is retired, and the son is to be crowned May 1 of this year. Today, the name of the new era era was announced today. The new era is said to be "Reiwa." "Rei" seems to have the meaning of "fine". "Wa" has a meaning of harmony. We often use the era in our daily life. So far, it has been said that Chinese historical books have often been used to refer to the first issue, but this time it was created by combining the kanji characters that appeared in the oldest songbook called "Manyoshu" in Japan.
The emperor of the Heisei era has dedicated to peace activities, and I thought that it was a good emperor.
