I've not thought about the weekend at all yet.
Father's Day weekend. I think I'll be home alone working on house stuff.
Sadly, no kids for me
I have not seen my kids on Father's Day in years.
That's tough...

They are in school. Because I am that kind of dad.
-
@jaredbusch Oh cool. So they go to school there in the summer?
-
This coming weekend, oil change for the cars and mowing the lawn.

The Japanese public school year runs from April to March.
The first trimester is April to Mid July.
6 weeks for Summer
Second trimester is September to December 25/26ish
2-3 weeks for New Years
Third trimester from early-mid January to mid March
2 weeks until new school year. -

Golden week hits during this trimester.

@jaredbusch Alright nice. I like how they have decent breaks in between the trimesters. I imagine their schools are harder than ours too so they are probably getting more ahead than they already are.
-
@jaredbusch Now that is cool. So many holidays, its great. I would go then to see the GT race it mentioned. Not to mention its probably a good time of year to see the sights anyway. I would go and not want to come back.

I would never recommend someone go to Japan during golden week. Everything is packed because the entire country is off work.
Go in late/march early april for Cherry blossoms or wait until September when the summer heat cools down a few degrees.
-
@jaredbusch Oh ok thanks then. I would have made that mistake lol. It would be great to go see all the cherry blossoms though. We have always wanted to go.
-
@JaredBusch How many of your kids' Japanese classmates are monster hunting ninja or cyborgs?
-
Going to Denver ComicCon.

Too bad I'm going to be gone this weekend. We could've gotten coffee or a beer.

My Cousin studied for a year and a half in Japan while he was in college. He is now fluent in Japanese.

I'm home alone all weekend. Going to be very lonely.

About to leave the office for the day, then it's off to the luthier's shop to get my new guitar pickups installed. The rest of the weekend will involve exterminating the rabbits that have been eating my tomatoes. Stay tuned for pics of some homemade rabbit stew.
