Finally the time has come. After 6 months of preparations, paperwork and stress, I made my way to Japan. Without sufficient language skills, everything should be in English. Over Hamburg and Dubai it went to Tokyo-Narita. Narita airport was selected because he belongs to the airports where the Immigration procedure could be done. I did not get much sleep the night before, because I was so nervous. And the thought “Why are you doing this?” The flights ran smoothly, only in Hamburg did I learn to hate my scales, I had suddenly a too heavy hand luggage and my luggage was now 1 Kg below the limit, so I could have take more …. (Previously I had desperatly to leave a lot, because I was clearly over the weight limit).
Hello World
Hello World,
I was force …. ähm of course it was suggested to me that I write a blog when I stay in Japan.
This blog is mainly for friends and family, but it is open to anyone who is interested about it.
It is also a big experiment of mine, so changes are likely. But I try to write something regularly, at
least once a month. The goal is generally to write about my stay, but also cultural peculiarities or
differences to German / European culture.
I hope you can enjoy it.
