Plans for My Vacation:
American tech companies are unpredictable these days. Even my company has started to layoff this year, and my manager suddenly told he’d be leaving next month. It’s not sure whether he resigned or a company decision, but according to our branch manager, things might be different if his English was more fluent and he build a stronger relationship with headquarters. Hearing that made me realize that I can’t consider myself immune.

But there’s no point in worrying about the future, so I want to focus on things I can look forward to! The Fuji Rock Festival is coming up soon, so I’ve been working out to prepare myself for the tough outdoor conditions. Naeba, where the festival held, is notorious for heavy rain, so I’m ready for it. If my post suddenly stop, you can assume I was swept away by a flood in Naeba! I’ve watched a few people posting about Fuji Rock, so I’m thinking of sending them a DM. Hopefully, they will reply!
I’m also planning to go to the Summer Sonic! This year, Alicia Keys is coming to Japan, so I’m going to see her.

And, I’m lucky to be able to take a longer vacation, so I’m planning a trip to Madrid and San Sebastián. San Sebastián is famous as a gourmet city, and thanks to Basque cheesecake, it’s become a popular place for Japanese tourists. I’m looking forward to bar hopping there. In Madrid, I’d love to see Gaudí’s architecture and watch a football match. However, the friend I’m planning this with isn’t sure if she’ll be able to get time off, so I’m also considering traveling somewhere solo.

If I end up traveling alone, I’d love to visit Sri Lanka again. It’s known as a safe place, many Japanese women traveling by themselves.I’d like to climb Sigiriya Rock again, visit the tea plantations, eat spicy food, and see elephants. It’s been a while since I traveled solo, so I’m nervous, but since I have the chance, I want to make lots of plans.

Have you made any plans for your vacation this year? I’d love to hear about them!
