2014.1.4

It was cloudy.

Usually January 4 is the first working day in a year for many companies, but this year it falls on Saturday.  Therefore many people have 9 days winter holiday.   I have 10 days.  However I did not travel anywhere.

How about your holiday?
 

十月十一日（jyugatsu jyuichi nichi）： October 11

It was very fine and hot like the beginning of September.
It is a national holiday called taiiku no hi (体育の日), Physical Education Day today. It has been on October 10 but since 2000 it has become on the second Monday of October. Therefore this was a 3-day weekend. Many people must have enjoyed this 3-day weekend.
Happy Monday System is a nice system for most people who can take 3 days off. But regarding schools I doubt the merit because if you have classes on Mondays, same subjects are canceled.
I like to celebrate the exact date.
