norcal 5 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm heading back to the states for a few weeks to visit the fam. NOOOOO WAY do I want to be anywhere near a Japanese road or expressway during Golden Week, lol. (thats not the reason why I'm taking a vacation though, lol) Hope everyone has a good one though!

Thundercat 60 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love Niijima and go there at least once a year... but I will never go during a national holiday again. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 they are camping, sounds like fun. Its a bit of an annual event, but I haven't bothered to go. Last year it pissed down rain the whole time and everyone was freezing....hope it doesn't do that this year (if I go that is!!) Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I wonder if we know the same people? I've got a few friends from Tokyo heading there tomorrow night... Golden Week can be really hit and miss when you go camping. It looks like I'm heading down to Shimoda for a few days but that won't be until Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites
