Golden week sure looks like fun. Makes me think of hawaii’s golden anniversary.

@Susie Q, we should get more random national holidays here in the US!

@Piroko, kids in the US have it really good, but I suppose a day being grateful they’re not aliens in disguise who plan to overthrow the planet is an okay thing.

@Caitlin, how did you spend your Golden Week?

There’s a bunch of festivals going on too so that’s an option.

It’d be great to be a kid in Japan(And adults too!). Having a (or near) a whole week off, we rarely get that in schools here!

I think Childrenâ€™s Day most appealing. Kids get recognized in the country with a whole day dedicated for them, as well as bring them good luck and long life.

Work hard, vacation hard sounds like a good motto…I seem to remember making paper stuffed carp banners/flags in elementary school (in the U.S.), I wonder if that was related? cultural education maybe… and yummm midori sours are one of my fav drinks! I would definitely celebrate Greenery Day ^_^.
