September 15 had been a national holiday called keiro no hi (敬老の日), Respect-for-the-Aged day until 2003. But it's been moved to the third Monday of September since 2004 because of the happy Monday system.
There are two national holidays in September, therefore this time is called silver week compared to the long weekend in May which is called the golden week.
I decided to take the summer vacation at this time to make it longer to use these two holidays. I will travel to Argentina and the USA for about 2 weeks. It's been a long time dream for me to go to Patagonia since I could not visit there while I was in Argentina last time in 2004. I am very looking forward to this trip.
