This week we had vacation for Golden Week.
In International Club, we asked what everyone was planning to do for Golden
Week. Then the students asked us what we call Golden Week in America. I was
confused because Golden Week is made up of two English words. So I told them
that we call it Golden Week, but we don’t celebrate it. We don’t have a break
from school the first week of May. The closest we have is Spring Break. Our
Spring Break occurs between our second and third terms of school. That is when
we get time away from class. Spring Break is very fun and important to college
students.
I think this year’s Golden Week was strange
because we had to come to school on Monday, so it was impossible to go far away
for a vacation. It is very crowded and expensive to travel, so I didn’t go
anywhere. Instead, my friends visited me from Tochigi. They enjoyed seeing
Tokyo because it is so different. I hope everyone had a fun holiday.
