Which One is More Important for You, Family or Money (Koichi Saito)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
This is Koichi. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in next class.

In this winter vacation, I came back to my hometown, Hakodate, Hokkaido. As I hadn't seen my family since August, I was really happy to meet them; however, I stayed there for only three days, from 31 December to 2nd January. The reason why I couldn't stay my hometown so long time is that the manager of the book store where I work didn't allow me to be absent from my part time job more than three days.

Then I'd like to ask you a question. Which one is more important, family or money.

For me, my family is much more important for me them money; therefore, I was terribly shocked when I had to come back to Tokyo. I suppose it would be almost impossible in Japan to take a long vacation after I will be hired. But, I hope I spend a good vacation with my family in my future.

  1. I think your manager is strict. There are some friends who work on the New Year, but they live with their family.
    You are still a student, so I think your manager should have let you spend a longer vacation with your family.
    Family is completely more important than money for me, and probably also for many people.
    Anyway, I hope that you could spend a good vacation, though it seems to be short.

  2. I am so sorry to hear you could not go back to your hometown for a long enough, but I hope you could have a wonderful time there in a short time.
    I also think it would be difficult for us to take a long vacation after we are hired, so we should spend vacations wisely and carefully while we are students.
    By the way, I think your manager is strict too as family is absolutely more important than money.
