Golden Week U-turn rush peaks

The group leaves together, has time with the group together and returnees as a group together...back to work with the group. What a wonderful relaxing experience.

I was driving around in Tokyo yesterday and it was heavenly! There was so little traffic it was almost surreal. I won't be driving any further than the local supermarket today though.

My experience is that the rush is never as bad as reported. I traveled north on the train from Tokyo on Thursday morning and was able to get a seat after Oyama, and the train was almost empty coming back to Tokyo yesterday morning despite dire warnings on the news.

I hate the NAVI system that sends thousands of cars down my small narrow country road as a shortcut.

I was driving around in Tokyo yesterday and it was heavenly!

Ditto. What a lovely feeling when you’re in Tokyo or other big cities just enjoying the lesser crowds. It’s back to push and shove tomorrow.

I’ll be lazing in hot spring waters tonight - that’s my holiday!

I was cutting weeds all GW. You lucky people who can go for trips, I’m jealous.

I had a wonderfully relaxing week off in my house and garden. No traffic, no stress, no stupid boss....bliss. Feel refreshed now for the long slog through to the Obon holiday.

The term 'U-turn' is so Japanese! I go on a holiday and at the end, I return home. When you do a U-turn, it means a canceled holiday!

It was a tough Golden Week as I had to take care of my family... went to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka with his wife and daughter.

yeah sounds like torture..
