According to the JR rail pass site, it says "in 2020, April 29 falls on a Wednesday. Festivities and travel are expected to continue through Tuesday, May 5." Hope that helps for any travel planning you're doing!

Golden Week is on the same date every year. It consists of the National Holidays April 29 and May 3 to 5. If one of these falls on a Sunday the next following workday would turn into a holiday. In 2020 May 3 is on a Sunday so May 6 becomes a holiday. In 2019 Golden Week was longer than usual due to the new era starting.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
