Onsen

Played around on my computer today and then headed to Daiba where I met up with my old host family and we all went to the Onsen. I hadn't been there since I got back to Japan this year, so it was good to go again.
Usually the first week of May is a string of holidays called Golden Week which were made to give Japanese people time off from their jobs. While most people take trips overseas, many people opt to stay in Japan because the travel companies often raise the prices of travel during these times. As a result of this Tokyo is more empty than usual but the fun spots are usually more crowded than normal. The Onsen was probably the most packed I've ever seen it.
