Golen Week is Golden

Why hello there! Thanks for dropping by!
So, last week was Golden Week in Japan. There are three holidays or so in that week, so Japan just says "screw this!" and gives everybody the whole week off. Thanks, Japanese government! That's one thing I'm thankful for... not so thankful for your tedious pen-and-paper bureaucratic system...

Anyway, for the break, my friends and I decided to hop over to another main island, Kyushu. We went to Fukuoka and Nagasaki. Had a ton of good food. Fun times :)

Here are some highlights:

Castle Ruins in Fukuoka

Peace Park in Nagasaki

The Hypocenter

I had a really fun time. But the Atomic Bomb Museum in Nagasaki was pretty depressing.
Golden Week was awesome. Too bad I don't have anymore holidays...

I've been trying to keep up with the music news... but it's been hard. I am excited for the solo albums from Jonsi of Sigur Ros, and Kele from Bloc Party. Also, We Are Scientists has a new album coming out soon. Excited for that.
