Many Japanese never take their vacations they should enjoy, but with the coming of “Golden Week”, a series(系列) of holidays following one after another in late April and early May, they pour out of the country by tens of thousands. The most popular place they go to is Hawaii, but Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan are also favoured. The typical Japanese abroad, as it is reported, travel for about a week and spends, as average, $2, 800 on airline tickets, hotels and gifts for friends and relatives. It may seem high, but it’s cheap for the Japanese, who would have to spend a lot more if they spend a week touring (making a journey) their own country.
