Father's Day weekend. I think I'll be home alone working on house stuff. Sadly, no kids for me  I have not seen my kids on Father's Day in years. That's tough...

 @jmoore said in Weekend Plans: @jaredbusch Well I know they are having fun. They are in school. Because I am that kind of dad. 
- 
 @jaredbusch Oh cool. So they go to school there in the summer? 
- 
 This coming weekend, oil change for the cars and mowing the lawn.

 @jmoore said in Weekend Plans: @jaredbusch Oh cool. So they go to school there in the summer? The Japanese public school year runs from April to March. The first trimester is April to Mid July. 
 6 weeks for Summer
 Second trimester is September to December 25/26ish
 2-3 weeks for New Years
 Third trimester from early-mid January to mid March
 2 weeks until new school year.

 @jaredbusch said in Weekend Plans: The first trimester is April to Mid July. Golden week hits during this trimester.

 @jaredbusch Alright nice. I like how they have decent breaks in between the trimesters. I imagine their schools are harder than ours too so they are probably getting more ahead than they already are. 
- 
 @jaredbusch Now that is cool. So many holidays, its great. I would go then to see the GT race it mentioned. Not to mention its probably a good time of year to see the sights anyway. I would go and not want to come back.

Everything is packed because the entire country is off work. Go in late/march early april for Cherry blossoms or wait until September when the summer heat cools down a few degrees.

 @jaredbusch Oh ok thanks then. I would have made that mistake lol. It would be great to go see all the cherry blossoms though. We have always wanted to go. 
- 
 @JaredBusch How many of your kids' Japanese classmates are monster hunting ninja or cyborgs? 
- 
 Going to Denver ComicCon.

My Cousin studied for a year and a half in Japan while he was in college. He is now fluent in Japanese.

 I'm home alone all weekend. Going to be very lonely.
