Best Weekend Ever?

Here is how to have the best weekend ever.

First have a half day of work on Friday. In fact, if you can secure a half day on every friday, you should go ahead and do that.

Go home from work and spend friday evening curled up under your kotatsu. watch movies such as....

and

Eat a delicious dinner and fall asleep early (9 o'clock is a good time).

Alone time is a precious thing. Use your Friday evening to relax after the busy week.

On Saturday morning sleep until you naturally wake up. Then take a drive down the coast of Japan. Roll down your windows and blare rocking music.

Meet up with a great friend for a delicious lunch in a cafe with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Talk for a few hours and grow to know each other more.

Explore the rocky beach for an hour or two.

Next, go and observe the seasonal daffodils which Fukui is famous for in the winter time.

Take another gorgeous drive along the coast to meet up with friends for a delayed mardi gras party with LEGIT cajun food. Teach some Irish, Brits, South Africans, Nihonjin etc... Mardi Gras traditions like King Cake and Gumbo. Listening to people practicing how to pronounce "Gumbo" will be highly amusing for you.

Then, when someone asks you if you want to spend the following day on the best ski and snowboarding mountain in the area, re-arrange all your plans to spend the next day snowboarding.

Go to sleep late and set your alarm for an early morning. Arent you glad you are super rested from Friday nights alone time?

Wake up early drive home and prepare for work on Monday. There is no worse way to start the week than not being ready for work when you walk into the office on Monday morning.
Drive to ski-jam successfully in very bad weather.

Snowboard with great friends.
