Golden Week

I always seem to be a month behind on my updates. These pictures are from Golden Week, which was the first week in May. Oh well, better late than never.

I had 9 days off at the beginning of May. During last year's Golden Week I did a lot of travelling with my parents, but this year was much more quiet. I went to an onsen and had some nights out drinking with my friends, but the highlight was a 2 day trip to my friend Satoshi's house outside of Sendai.

I went with Satoshi and our friend Toshio to a small hot spring town called Tohgatta. Satoshi's parents in-law have a summer house there, so as we were driving there I imagined a small old fashioned style house. Instead we pulled up at a massive modern house with 2 garage doors, a personal hot spring bath and enough sleeping space for about 10 people. Civil servants seem to live well in Japan(^_^).

We had a typical boy's time of it, with lots of beer, barbeque and table tennis matches, followed by playing Nintendo Gamecube in the evening before bed. And I got to use the hot spring bath twice; so relaxing. It was a great time and I hope I can do it again.

As for the rest of May, things got back to normal after the holiday and the month went by quickly. My baseball team only played once in May (one game was cancelled due to a lack of players and the game on June 10th was cancelled because of rain), but we won the game and I got a couple of hits (I was 0 for 3 in the previous game). I'm looking forward to the next gam on June 24th.

Talk to you later!!
