Golden Week is unofficially here for me!

While officially Golden Week doesn't begin until next Tuesday, as of this moment I consider my vacation has begun. While I have to work on Tuesday, I don't expect it to be that big of a problem, and for the next 10 out of 11 days, I am off. I have been looking forward to this break for a very long time. While I plan on spending most of the time relaxing at home, I will try to go out when I can. Today in the Kofu area a new gigantic shopping center opened that I may go to tomorrow. I'm thinking of going hiking too, but I don't know really where to go, especially on my tight budget for the month. I could go bicycling around town, but my bike is giving me trouble again. I guess a lot of the time will be spent watching movies and playing games with friends. Of course that is always fun.

Right now I am watching Mecha Mecha Iketeru on Fuji TV, a popular variety show. Tonight Tom Cruise is trying to guess what movies a bunch of comedians dressed as Marilyn Monroe are pantomiming too. Its pretty silly. I love Japanese TV.
