十一月一日(jyuichigatsu tsuitachi): November 1

Another month has started. November is jyuichi gatsu (十一月) in Japanese. The old name is shimo tsuki (霜月), literally frost month. There are only two months left this year. I can't believe how fast time flies.
Yesterday the operation of international flights from Haneda (羽田) airport to 11 cities started. They are Seoul, Taipei, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Paris, San Francisco, Los Angels, and Honolulu. By February 2011 they will be increased to 17 cities, that is New York, Detroit, Vancouver, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, and London.
Since the airport opens for 24 hours, there are many new business opportunities there now. Travel agencies started to sell the package tours to Asian countires for 1 night 4 days from Friday midnight to Monday morning so that people don't have to take days off but can enjoy the weekend travel abroad. Would you like to try?
I prefer the long vacation.
