2010 How To Get A Rainbow Puffle

Kyoto.

That comes here quite late, but finally comes the long awaited trip report.



On 29 August evening at 21h am, I took a bus to Kyoto. That was plenty of spectacular.



the bus. Slippers. We feel we are in Japan.

morning at 8, I was then in Kyoto. First I visited the Touji Temple.



the gate.



The purification plant. Before the Temple enters, clean it is - hands and mouth.



The five-story pagoda. Is a standard inventory of each temple.



landscape. (Greetings to Chris, I've made a lot of landscapes;.))

Afterwards then things started to rain. Sightseeing with 10kg baggage is bad enough ... Sightseeing in the rain is worse. :) I'm still on the Higashi Honganji and Nishi-Honganji gone, but have made no photos because of the rain.

why I'm zuerstmal then driven to the hostel. On the way, I've met a Swiss woman, Jacqueline, a homestay in Japan makes. With her I am then the next two days by Kyoto drawn.

The next morning we then went off early. First to Ryouanji.



Tourist Photo. ;)



The Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji).



Easy to slap laugh. You know the moss, Chris? ;)



The Silver Pavilion (Ginkakuji). Unfortunately, he has just been renovated ( here's a link to a real photo).

I was still more temples, but in most the photography is prohibited. Therefore, I have bought many books and postcards. So if you want to see more pictures, you must get in touch with me when I'm back. ;)

Bohemian Dresses 2010

Amakusa.



The adventure began quite early for me this time. We did indeed drive off until about 9am, but before that I had to go too Natsumi. Since I've never been to her, we wanted to meet in the city.

Natsumi lives in the south of Kumamoto. During the bus ride to her I was the first time realized how big Kumamoto in reality is - the area that I frequent is quite over prejudice Ulich.

Shortly before nine, we are then taken off. At this point a note on the travel behavior of Natsumi and her mother, I find that very reassuring, because unlike what I'm used to (Papa, feel thoroughly addressed), make simply because stop where they please and there is no battle plan, but it is all handled very spontaneous.

was the first stop it in a takoyaki shop:

Now you know all, like a dried Tako looks. ;)

And a non-dried:

this is tasty;)

After a stop at a supermarket, five bridges, which have led us to several other islands to the target, we were there:


According Natsumi has her mother at first refused to take me, because the "inaka", ie, lies on the civilized country and not as scary as great Kumamoto. However, I like this Japan (at least in part) a lot better.
The House of Grandmother's urjapanisch, with entrance hall, where you look like the shoes, tatami mats everywhere. There is also no air conditioning, but it can be due to the sea better able to endure there. :)
There is also a house cat: Myanko.


After lunch (which I am informed Natsumi, is that I can deal better with chopsticks than her father) are Natsumi and I then went down to the sea and 've hunted. ;)



Me's also really:

I urge others to take note that I am wearing shorts. Shorts. So it's really warm. ;)

Amakusa is very nice and quiet (and urjapanisch):


rice fields and mountains:


The "hunt" was successful:

sea snails. Very tasty. ;)

There is also proof pictures that I'm a) really in the sea was and b) in the bottom of my heart, but Japanese, but get I have my first of Natsumi and I'm afraid the quality will not be as breathtaking . So be it.

After the "bath" in the sea (only went knee-deep in, because there are so many jellyfish) we had already returned home. I then stayed home with Natsumi and then I went back the next morning in the city. :)

That's it so far We update again in early September. From 29.8 to 5.9 I am traveling around (Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, in that order) and'll make a lot of pictures.

Anti-spam Agents Are Enabled, But

Japanese politeness.

Usually, if someone asks me how it is in Japan so I say, "Just like in Germany, too." This is of course a massless understatement - I just need to open the window to realize that I am not in Germany, but it expresses something fundamental from: There a very few exceptions, not a giant gap.
But today I fell into one of these exceptions. 'm Still on the way, climb out.

But stories must be told first. So

Today we celebrated Natsumis birthday (she had on 30 July, but last week so many exams that we celebrated until today). First we were in the karaoke (where it was still normal). But then ... then we wanted to go eat.

The restaurant, in which we really wanted was closed for a private event. So we are first on running aimlessly. We have passed the Morricone. We then sat down outside. The waiter came, we had not decided yet, so we have him sent away.
Now there was some indecision. Natsuki Natsumi and did not want to stay in Morricone (from me as yet unexplained reasons). But as we sat there nunmal and the waiter was already come here (even though we had ordered anything), Anja and I found that we could not leave. We are then going to the toilet first, shaking his head and laughing (because it was still funny). When we came back, the two Japanese women, however, already packed up their stuff again and were ready to go. We went too. However, so striking that Anja and I almost had died of shame.

We, as a well educated Western Europeans, had already slipped away when we. We have forged a plan on how to come off best unremarkable. We would not know how Natsuki Natsumi and even waited until we were full strength again, and would then be gone.

And then the two are also gone slowly.

We will be less in the 3rd Restaurant remained, but that also had its downside - I had to wait 40 minutes on my pizza, which is very unusual for Japan. Normally, there's food within 10 min. The other was the way to get their food. When I have finished with the pizza had, she came after all.
But I could then complain to the questionnaire - after dinner we were given a questionnaire to complete and mail to us. This was the first time that someone asked me whether the waiter would have smiled.



*** On the way home had Anja and I went a little discussion about Japanese courtesy.

Japanese politeness runs in very limited paths. There is a separate language politeness (Keigo), etc. of the shop assistants, waiters used to be. Keigo is not to learn so very serious, but the application is quite difficult because there are no fixed rules.

This is a courtesy to the Japanese language to its own, brutal honesty and directness, which is found the well-educated middle European (ie ME), sometimes like a punch in the stomach.
When deprived of the Japanese language and they must be expressed in a foreign language in which they can not save into solid, polite formulas, namely the not polite. Sun Natsuki Anja said today that she would behave like a primary student. That was not polite or appropriate, however, meant not bad.

This could be explained with the fact that not hostile to Japan at the grassroots level. When ready to make up a Japanese wants, he speaks Keigo with you (that is more than polite). Perhaps the immediacy of an expression is the fact that they are actually very happy to have it. Unfortunately, this is very rude in German culture.

Japanese are not particularly polite. The front of us, only so because it is Keigo.

Nitrous Bad For Voice

Mission: 25% complete.

I've been here for three months and that justifies an interim report. In addition, we have arrived in the middle of the semester, which is characterized mainly by the fact that I do an exam next week (Kanji) write.

parent in no particular order:

a) I'm still alive.
b) [is of a) directly derived] I'm not starving.
c) [from b) is directly derived] I eat reasonably () properly.
d) [of a) derived directly or it can be infer] I still did not have a major accident.
e) [from d) can infer is] it Until now only slight accident with minor or no injuries (I remember the knee).
f) I'm not broke.
g) But I've already bought quite a lot of nice things, including the yukata and an electronic dictionary.
h) The instruction at the university (completely in Japanese) has proved to be feasible.
i) Kanji is a wonderful thing.
j) but not words.
k) grammar is not really worthy of the name, these are all idioms.
l) If I have a saying that Japanese and Korean at the same language family, there is a massacre (Japanese is a mishmash of many elements, a clear classification is not done to date, He who tries to prove otherwise, links and linguistic materials to my Gmail address, please). found
m) I have many friends and do not spend all day in my room in front of the computer.
n) The Germans are very nice and love karaoke. Hence the realization that five hours karaoke do not do my neck well. But it makes a lot of fun.
o) The English are golden and guilt at my very first hangover.
p) If Umeda-sensei, who is responsible for the computer room you want to tell me again, I think Macintosh programs, I ask him why we do not use Linux.
q) This entry is the word "safety" dedicated, because I again found only in was that I wanted in my Denji in the English-German part to "seat belt". And it's not as funny as it sounds.
r) When I get home, I'll miss the food most.
s)'m greedy [from r) directly derived] I.


The current situation:
It's warm and humid. Sometime soon begins the rainy season. Then it gets still warmer. And then leave me all. But then I finally break.
My air conditioning is my best friend (I ask a lot of time Michael and Jenny are sorry, but it does not cool me off so nice;)).
As I said, I write my first exam next week. Currently I have a long Weekend (Thursday through Monday off) because my teacher to Taiwan and must therefore fail my classes on Thursdays and Mondays. In
teacher said we write every week, but every hour a little test (which vary more or less good).
I also skipped (not yet in view of the fact that my presence last and second last semester was quite limited to a few courses that deserves a mention).

the way, I also like emails. I also promise to respond quickly.

Budget For 2 Weeks In Bali

talking Now I have when sleeping ...

Last night I was dreaming in Japanese. I'm fairly sure that it was only a meaningless collection of Japanese words, but it was Japanese.

So much of me now return to normal daily schedule.

P90x Is It Goog For Women?

yukata.




From left to right: Ellie, Megan, me in yukata (浴 衣). They are not only beautiful but also good for the back (you have to stand up straight sit /, because it so closely tied up that it really necessary).


the perfect shoe for the Yukata: geta (下 駄). The predecessor of flip flops.


My hair clip. Although not typically Japanese, but very beautiful.


was
That's from the land of the rising sun. To all the above complained a lack of updates: It happened here, just nothing. I go to college, I (and the stories'll tell you I do not) go out and I'm learning. A lot. I do all this in Japan, gives it some kick, but that does not bring you a lot. ;)
