Happy New Year !!

Happy New Year !!!

This is May in Japan.
Today we enter 2016 year.

It was a holiday, but I worked today.
In Japan, many people took holiday on New Year's day, until a few years ago.
Many shops closed on New Year's Day, so people spent time at home.
In late years, many shops open on New Year's Day, so people who work from New Year's Day increased.

I often hear it said that Japanese people work too hard.
I want Japanese people to take a rest on New Year's Day.

Anyway, may this year be another good one!!
