Back in Germany - as soon as you get the jet lag behind and open to external influences - a very special attention to: everything here is huge. This begins with the portions in the restaurant at (forget for the first order in Germany never know that you're not in an izakaya ...) and stops at the physical structure of the passers-by. Perhaps the area around the Neckar somehow genetically engineered ... but after 1 year Japan and less pronounced secondary Sexual characteristics are shown to the public (as either present or not covered with ruffles) at least I see only Breast ... no matter where I look to ... In Japan I have seen for a while, only legs in high heels ...
It's been very interesting thing you noticed after Germany primaer takes time out. Many have told me that they were particularly fascinated by the Greuns the trees. Others find it great especially able to finally return 250 km / h ride on the highway. Others are impressed by how different the architecture in Germany. Well .. and I ... I no longer trust on chest my eyes ... I am deeply impressed! :-)
As promised to all the english-speaking readers (who were until now only able to look at the pics) - from now on there will follow a short summary in English:
Back to Germany each individual, who has spent some time away from his/her homecountry, is impressed by different things. Some people are amazed how green everything is, others love being back on the motorway where they are able to drive without speed limit instead of 80 km/h and I... well... and I am pretty impressed by the German food servings (h-u-g-e) AND... the size and appearance of the secondary sex characteristics of German women (after one year in Japan where most women either do not really have any or hide them behind KAWAII frills). Meaning that - wherever I look - I see huge breasts walking around ... (Back ...). in Tokyo it was skinny legs in high heels Maybe the area I am living in right now is kind of genetically modified - it really catches one's eye ... I'm impressed ... :)
My last stay at Sibuya, a part of Tokyo, was now quite explosive ... If I may put it that ... I have a friend one last time in my favorite store diagonally across from the looped Shiespa ... then go again ... and after about Five minutes to hear a huge bang. Followed by about 30 firefighters, health and police patrol cars and 3 helicopters. Just in the corner of a house is blown up and the road that I'm still just before geschlappt along and said, sighing stood before Spa was completely blocked ... the whole area is almost gone amok.
... have odd-looking, huh !?... the flag waving Jaegermeister in central Tokyo ... Thanks to my missionary work now know some Asians what to do with it. .. them you just have to say is that there are good German "Kusuri (Medicine), and they drink it ... And it is thanks to the effect of the preparation gemuetsaufhellenden often quite amusing :-)
One thing makes a tender in Japan: social contacts.
Initially, when you pull into the country, it still has the illusion that you - as in any other country - quickly get in contact with the aborigines. But Japan is not like any other country in this respect. As described many times, you get here to feel every day that we are foreigners, which, although primarily on the English-phobia The Japanese can be led back, but that does not make you better ...
I can imagine that - you study here and early 20s - the situation again looks different because it automatically in a residence hall or iregndwelchen WGs lives. Mid-30s on Expat base sees something different - because you can still be so open-minded and extroverted.
It has nothing to most other Germans or other gaijin. I have personally through the school a lot of really nice and funny contacts aufgeta n. The big pain is dependent on everyone you know here will learn that you know straight away from that either she / he goes soon or du It's just almost every available only for a few months or a few years in the country. The can be quite exhausting ... the eternal Verabschiederei ...
I have already heard more often from families with children that their children have big problems to catch up because the other children - when they hear that you are only for some limited time in the country - have no interest, energy in to put the relationship.
The only good thing is that it constantly has parties where someone will be adopted. The event is therefore being sad, but depending on who adopts one, it can also end up like that one again ends up screaming in a Japanese Photobox and after stirring up a full bar. So yesterday as done for a change, I adopted was ... Enjoy:)
Today I was delighted with the news that I passed and the second semester at Naganuma. Oh, what am I glad! This afternoon I was thus the first time bliss for half a year without a guilty conscience in the S herumluemmeln and read a book in which no Kanji were ...
I completed originally yes aeons before time translators and interpreters in a compressed program ... I felt at that time as very intense. Compared with what I get here in Japan to material extent by the ears have, however, was retrospection ... how to formulate self ... CHILDREN shit! have to now 6 months I have packed the entire Japanese basic grammar + 40 chapters with vocabulary and kanji shot in the brain - to date a particular brain was still not able to process all ... No wonder ... Finally, the brain is now 37 years old ... now - on 3 Book arrived - even understand the Koreans - who learn Japanese on the Chinese addition to the gaijin's fastest - only station ... Hats off to every gaijin who passes the exams at Naganuma right away! I now have preferred to adopt me from class and the days until my departure and prefer Izakayas to spend the crazy shops ...
The next month I will also (in Japan actually intended for Grundschueler ...) for the first time with repetition of the substance and my love of Nintendo Kanjitrainern spend ... maybe I'll try at some point on JLPT (the one actually brings nüscht, but very good for my ego could be:)
Now I dedicate my first time of revival rather rusty knowledge of Swedish ... Could help on site in Stockholm yes, huh?
As part of my impending Japan-Time-outs I'm trying to find in Germany and in Sweden an Orthodontic, which animmt in the next few months my Japanese braces. That would mean ansich simple that once adjusted this month a pair of wires. Anyone who thinks it's no problem, you are wrong ... But violence. Fact: I still not sure if anyone can handle this thing or is .. or not. It does not seem to be possible to extract from an Orthodontic despite all the necessary details if he makes it or not. What is already bad enough as it is here once for my pearly whites and also a few wires and Plastikplaettchen which are worth more than some small cars. All this would have been incredibly enough, if not there would be a crowning glory of the issue: the Office assistant with you on the phone need before you get an appointment to talk ... or at least useful information. And I must say I am appalled. After a year of Japan and the nature of the services offered here again a bad-tempered, snotty receptionist at the Swabian listeners have to ... can one give to the basic braces drama nor the rest. Not only that I was angezickt the polite question about a date and I was immediately assured that I must not imagine that my problem can be solved ... NOE ... because obviously a multi-tasking capabilities Sprechstundenkoriphae, she pimped the same time also loudly to her colleague that it would reverberate in the listener and that they would be so terribly much.
I almost forgot that I actually pay money for treatment and the lady at the other end is putting their job just ... namely the, patient care ... I almost felt guilty to have called at all ... But only almost ...
In this sense, again, a loud hurray Hiphip Japanese on customer service! Like the little black-haired and more often quite bizarre in his behavior in my eyes they are extremely friendly and helpful! Oh, that I will miss!
Due to an acute lack of time here the latest news in short version:
- accompanied buying a car after a year of Japan and therefore to note that Japan still does not stop at the station of Azamino;)
- success in terms of "the Japanese driver's license" - the officials seemed more balanced than the last time there were no more absurd questions. Hats but again took a full day, with Nintendo Mario Kart and a very sympathetic interpreter was quite entertaining (including theories about the sudden good mood of the officials "he had the day before if possible GM?" Was his tasty lunch? ". ..)
- SCHOOL TOUR (I love that word) to Ghibli Museum (I can highly recommend each, the view ... that's what I've Anime hated ... now I'm Tonari no Totoro - fan and use the word SWEET. Then Mojito orgy on a rooftop bar in Tokyo, with contacts to the Global Pictures (and race to the next Takoyaki-stop-shop)
- 9000 yen concert of Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this was more than 5000 worth since a) only 1.5 hours, and b) Anthony Kiedis, the Frontsaenger, suddenly in the face has a mustache that looks about as sexy as a walrus look flat. Very lustich: before the concert was warned against the use of bilingual lighters and recommended instead to wave the phone. Also became wildly dancing people by security men for breeding + order forced
- signing a temporary contract for an internship in Stockholm. But I'm assuming that I certainly think that to blaspheme the boar Sweden:) soon so for a few months, the latest news from Nippon AND Sverige.
