May, and Outside eateries

Welcome back! And also welcome to May!! It's already May...As I have said many many times, and I am sure most of you are sick of me saying it; Time really does fly by...

How was you Golden Week Vacation? I didn't do anything special. I just did the usual for a weekend or day off; I took it easy, did exercise, walked, went cycling, went to a hot springs near my house, sipped some wine and shochu, drank a little beer, read a book, watched a couple of DVDs...All in all, it was a really good break.

Also, I went out with a friend and we went to an outside eatery.

I really like outside eateries, bars, anything. Of course I am not a big fan of them in the winter, but from now til about October, I frequent them often. If you know of any good ones, please let me know.
Sometimes I go to these stalls for a drink or two by myself, and sometimes I go with my friends. I like both situations. If I go by myself, I can usually meet some new people which is always interesting. If we hit it off, then sometimes we exchange email or cell phone numbers or something, and maybe even become friends. It is nice and important to venture out and make connections I think.

The other day, when I was at one of these outside bars, we talked about the below question.
"Who would you like to see start a new political party?"
Please read below for some various opinions.
Some are serious, and some are funny.
