There is a very good reason NOT to travel anywhere during Golden Week.
The news on TV last night was showing Tokyo's two airports - both so full of people that you couldnt see the floor. Almost every flight leaving was completely full. Bullet trains, the empty ones were about 110% full, the crowded ones were around 165% full. No chance of a seat, really.
The freeways were crowded too... they had helicopters looking down, and traffic was just standing still. The entire country was covered with traffic jams- the short ones being 20 kilometres long, the longer ones up to 35.
And people wonder why I'm spending the week in my burrow?
