Gemma MitchellHOST
Um, so one of my tips also that we'll get to is timing.
Gemma MitchellHOST
So it just so happened that we were there in what's called Silver Week, and it very rarely happens.
Gemma MitchellHOST
They have a gold week or a golden week every year, and it's like a national holiday that goes for a week.
Gemma MitchellHOST
It just so happened that two other holidays lined up, so they had a, a Silver Week.
Gemma MitchellHOST
So it was not only, you know, Westerners and things traveling, and we're competing for tourist space there, it was also majority [laughs] of the Japanese were also on holidays.
Gemma MitchellHOST
So this also pushed up things like our accommodation and thing- We- But we didn't know that.

James TaylorHOST
Uh, good to, good to be able to talk about J2 again.
James TaylorHOST
How are you?
Joe FowlerHOST
Is, is she following the Toyota calendar? Do you know about the Toyota calendar? People who work for Toyota in Japan who live in, well, they don't have to live in Toyota, which is just outside Nagoya, part of Nagoya, um, they, uh, they have a different timetable to everyone else in Japan.
Joe FowlerHOST
So we had, uh, Silver Week the other day, three days holiday, which is actually about the same length as Golden Week.
Joe FowlerHOST
Uh, but Toyota workers didn't.
Joe FowlerHOST
They had to go to work, but then they get some days off on different days.
GaryHOST
That's so great.
GaryHOST
It's been a Japanese holiday this past week in Japan called Silver Week, which is just a run of bank holidays where most people don't go to work.
GaryHOST
So I had some free time on my hands, and I went down to Ikebukuro, which is an area of Tokyo, and they have a store there called Mandarake.
GaryHOST
You can find these stores all over Japan, they're like a second-hand store, but it's specifically for, like, pop culture goods.
EricHOST
weirdly it was goto so oh okay and spoilers he did not win no so suji retained so i don't know why it was goto but it was so anyway yes haruki goto so this is like a catch-up issue so there's a lot of match reports because remember they didn't have an issue last week so
TimHOST
was it just a silver week thing that there was nothing last week
EricHOST
i maybe yeah maybe maybe it was just holiday because there were three holidays uh days right like monday tuesday was they were all holidays so people just asked you bro obviously take holiday as well yeah that's fine and yeah so there's not yeah exactly and so there's not a lot of exclusives this issue because they're just catching up on shows that they've missed Um, and so, yeah, just going to blast through this.
EricHOST
It shouldn't take long at all.

MotoHOST
The journey home was a little more complicated.
MotoHOST
So Japan occasionally gives us something called Silver Week.
MotoHOST
We have Golden Week in May, which usually gives us several public holidays close together.
MotoHOST
And every now and then, September does something similar.
