My daughters will start their summer vacation in 1 week.
In the past, my wife and daughters go to her hometown as soon as possible after the summer vacation starts.
But this year, my elder daughter will have summer classes of private school.
And she only has 8-9 days off surprisingly.
Each day, the private school is arranged only in morning, but same kind of summer vacation is not possible this year due to the limited days off.
Still we will go back to each home town in Obon period.
But biggest problem is I can’t stay in home alone in summer time.
That was kind of special experience for me and only possible in summer vacation period.
Now it’s going to be impossible as well.
But when I consider it from different POV, I come to know that such kind of past vacation will be not common as well even without private school.
When I was child, I have sports activity every weekend, and more in vacation period.
When it comes to junior high school student, staying 3 weeks in home town is already not common.
