One of my first assignments at my first job in Tokyo was to go with the secretary and block / hold some space under the cherry blossoms... a newbie task for sure ;-) Casey

The 2020 Olympics celebrated in 2021 and a Monday holiday occurring on a Thursday... the holiday calendar arranged in order to allow people to attend events not open to the public... It's all very strange, but as a result we have a four day weekend... Bac...  

Thank you Nico

Now that I am retired I tend to not pay as much attention to the holidays as well the weekends... accept to avoid public areas... Casey

These days I understand avoiding crowded street fairs...
