The Golden Week is a collection of four national holidays within seven days. In combination with well placed weekends, the Golden Week becomes one of Japan's three busiest holiday seasons, besides New Year and the Obon week.
MAY 2nd
Me & my father went for a ride in the car, which we often enjoy on weekends.
We went to Okaya, Nagano where I used to go almost everyday back in days when I was learning figure skating. It brings me back a lot of memories… :)

On our way back to our home, we stopped at a shrine. I've never been there before, but the redness of the shire caught my eyes and I felt like I needed to see it inside.
So here it is...

FAMILY REUNION!!!
My cousin came visit us! Ahhh I've missed them so much.
We went to a temple called "Ganshoin". It is known for a picture of a phoenix painted by one of the most famous painter, Hokusai Katsushika . (Photos were not allowed to take, if you want to see the painting, go visit their website ! WARNING : If you have a phobia of birds like me, you might not want to see it.)

Hanging out with Rotary exchange students from another district in Nagoya!
We met in Hakuba during Rotary Skiing trip. There were 5 people including me, all going to different countries (France, Italy, Switzerland, the US., Norway)
I laughed so hard that my stomach still kind of hurts… I wished I could stop the time… It was an unforgettable, amazing, fun trip! :D

Nagoya Station… One word : chaotic.
Still can't believe that I actually found my friends in this massive crowd of people. It was probably the luckiest day in my entire life.
I wanted to take a lot of photos but I couldn't because of the weather. It was raining and I couldn't risk my precious camera to get wet.

I'm so thankful for the people around me & I'm so ready to go on a trip in France!
