BagOfCrisps 24 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Why is it called Golden Week, any particular reason? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 In any other country it would be called "y'know, that stupid week with the odd day off scattered about. When are they going to fill in the bloody gaps with hols?" But in Japan, it's called 'Golden Week', and if you fill up the gaps with your own paid days off, you get to travel at grossly inflated rates. It's reet golden it is.
