Golden week started. Many Japanese has one week or ten days holiday in this season. One of my friends has half a month holiday. I have only continuous three days holiday, but it's enough for me.
I was surprised when I knew from the newspaper that many Japanese are going to the North-Eastern Japan for voluntary works in this Golden week. From the newspaper, the supply of voluntary workers are more than the demand in the disaster areas now.
At this moment when the people is reconstructing their life lines and fighting against the danger of radioactivity, the things I can do as a book salesman is little. So, I have to wait for the timing for a while. But, as a liquor lover, I can do many things now. Many liquor shops have the fare for cheering the disaster areas. They sell many types of Japanese sake because the area is the great place to brew sake. That's why I will try to drink it much more during my holidays.
After Golden week, my company will start cool biz. It is one month earlier than the last year. The aim is to prepare for the electricity shortage in this summer season. I will not wear tie and jacket from May. It's fantastic.
Now, I think, summer should be hot.
Until now, our summer was strange. We use air conditioners too much. In the too cool office, some people wear cardigans even in the summer. I think this year is the good chance to change our life style. If it's too hot to work, we should go to the sea or the river. I will go to buy a new beach wear this holidays.
