How was your day today?

On Saturdays, I often go to my friend's private clinic to help him out. I usually take the train there. The train usually isn't crowded, but there were a lot of travelers with large suitcases. Then, I realized that the summer holiday period called "obon" had started .

On Saturdays, I often go to my friend's private clinic to help him out. I usually take the train there. The train usually isn't crowded, but there were a lot of travelers with large suitcases. Then, I realized that the summer holiday period called "obon" had started.

1. Here is an alternative expression. "usually".
2. There should be no space between a sentence and its ending punctuation, whether that's a period, a question mark, or an exclamation mark. There should also be no space before a colon, semicolon, or comma.
It must have been easy to notice that Obon had started with so many travelers carrying large suitcases. I hope your trip to the clinic went smoothly. What do you usually do during Obon when you have some free time?

I sometimes used to go to my parents' home during Obon when I had some free time, but no one lives there now. My father passed away last December and my mother lives at a nursing home now. Many people who come from the countryside usually go to their hometowns. I live in my hometown now, so I don't need to do that.

I sometimes used to go to my parents' home during Obon when I had some free time, but no one lives there now. My father passed away last December, and my mother lives at a nursing home now. Many people who come from the countryside usually go to their hometowns. I live in my hometown now, so I don't need to do that.

1. Use a comma to indicate a pause between parts of a sentence.
I understand. Since you already live in your hometown, Obon must feel a little different from when you visited your parents. What do you usually enjoy doing during Obon these days?

We work or stay at home during Obon because there are so many tourists in my area. We usually take a summer vacation during other periods because we avoid the crowd, and the higher transportation and hotel prices.
