Holiday Time in Japan

[Camate]

Greetings everyone!

This week our counterparts in Japan as well as the development team will be on vacation for the consecutive string of Japanese holidays known as “Golden Week.” During this time our dev. related posts and comments may be a bit slower than usual, but we will still be collecting our usual feedback and finding avenues to give you responses. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

No problem! I have a feeling we won't really notice much difference.

Sadly, I can not find an appropriately weird and ridiculous picture from a Google Image Search of the term "Golden Week" to express what people who think like the Final Fantasy XI Development Team might do while on vacation.

This is the goofiest picture I found during that search:

Even if one assumes no pants worn along with the top, mask, and gloves...This image is hardly ridiculous enough. Again, I apologize.

As an American living in Japan, Happy Golden Week.

Now, as an ignorant, thinks-he's-funny American in Japan, would "Golden Week" be related to "Golden Shower Decade" that SE has been putting on for it's players?
