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.

@jaredbusch Ok dang I have to ask you too, why is that?

Because they are there
-
@jaredbusch Well I know they are having fun. Sorry they are never home this time of year though. Which island are they on?

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.
