snowdude 44 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes. Lots of people on holiday, I am working though. But from tomorrow I am off to Thailand and then Singapore for a very short but much looking forward break. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Have a good trip Snowdude. For anyone else thinking of it.....DO NOT come down to the Izu peninsula. Traffic is a horror show. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks Chriselle. When I went to Makuhari Wednesday for Gaga's concert the trafic heading out of Tokyo was mad, but it was a nice easy run for us heading to Tokyo. Tomorrow is going to be a mad rush for sure as most head home. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Turn around already...? I was thinking of heading up towards your way on that side of Fuji for a few days of camping. I'd better get on the road early Link to post Share on other sites
Saitaman 1 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Isn't the weekend the "official turnround" (when you must do your turnaround-ing? Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Some places normally well busy empty out for Obon which I like. U turn is not fun for people returning to the city this weekend though. Link to post Share on other sites
miller 1 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I had a fun time with a Japanese family I'm friends with. Lots of beer, sake and snacks. A bit of dancing too actually, much to my embarrassment. Link to post Share on other sites
