the moment I do something rare in the blogger world. I hope it gets better.
Nathan is taking things very happy to be back home. At least he's almost not even from the garden. Braver hangover. Thank you dear ones, for all your kind words. So beautiful that it is not alone.
sewed a little something I've also heard. After yes I had already made the covers for the cuddle cat, now had to necessarily arise even one for dogs. The matching fabric I had been so long since.
Then there is my nephew, his 7th Birthday and for him it was a white blanket in the desired colors red, blue, and a little bit with his Stars. Uiii was the nice again tiiiiiiiiiiiiief dig in my crates and pick out the best materials for this and put together. Something I like very, very happy.
And then I have a carpenter here sometimes, where such wood letters in order, as I have it on your blog already sooooo long admired and I think they're not gone bad. I still have it painted blue to fit the ceiling for my sweet nephew, Nick.
Yes, and today Alina birthday. Sweet 13, she has become, finally a teenager.
Sorry, we do not celebrate birthday today Alina's right, because the two girls are now gone on school trip and come back until Sunday. But I hope they will have fun.
And I also say goodbye to the weekend and really looking forward to it. Morning at 5 clock it to start. Our planned trip to Unawatuna with viiiiiiieeeel stopping and watching the fishermen and browse antique shops, delicious food without cooking yourself and a little swim in the sea. Sunday we will have to be already at 12 clock back, because we have to pick up the girls at the school. But tomorrow I will thoroughly enjoy the day.
I HAVE A VERY BIG GIRLS DO TO MY LOVE BLOGGER!
I can knit and crochet while, but without instructions I do because I usually rather difficult. I am looking for a guide to knit or crochet baby shoes. But not quite normal but rather ballerinas as here
On 14th September then there were the results of the test. Particularly satisfied somehow was not one that we have made ourselves, including the long faces of some of the other students there, standing around, which did not compete again ... But well, can not do anything except the best of it and then off into the full!
the evening we have because of the shock first-Izakaya celebrated a small party (pub in Japanese). we met in Tamachi, and actually just wanted Chris, David, Jessica, Annie, Paul and Ian away ... But suddenly there were 4 that we did not know us and the net knew and Paul and Ian were late, resulting in a strange situation occurred ...
But it worked then release even with 11 men we are then. For so many men to find a place in Japan is not so easy - Izakaya and Karaoke may be the only one who could work wos, even if it is a much shear. Ian and Paul did not know that and have first made big eyes when we told them that.
In Ueno, there are some cool izakaya, and Jessi stuerte unerringly to a rather Japanese. There we were from an older woman in a Space above sent: tatami mats, small tables, so we had to fold underneath. With an eye on the food and beverage card, we found that: The prices are so cheap right! 250 yen for a large Coke was pretty good, I've seen nowhere else * * smiling And the food was great and perisgünstig. Since we are definitely going down more often.
I do not get everything together all the names ... has> _ <
When finally given up the whole pile Sat ? and his orders, took off all the fun. A place Sprachwirrwar, German, English, Japanese - even French, as one of your of us (with I've unfortunately forgotten boy> _ <) nur schlecht Englisch sprach. Als es nachher ans Bezahlen ging, wurde es etwas schiwerig, denn bei 11 Leuten und einem munteren Bestellen, ging doch einiges unter... Aber irgendwie managten wir es doch. Auf dem Rückweg gabs dann einen Shokozug und einen plötzlich verlassenen David mit Handy in der Bahn. ...
On 15th September Annika and I were in Shibuya to buy a present for Chiaki, whose birthday we were both invited. And we have brought something for Mariko. What is yet to reveal here, the celebration is still pending and if all previously Mariko learns is that so stupid ^.
~ In the evening we have yet to meet with Chris, David and Jessie. As Jessi has the day before, added the missing amount at Izakaya, we have invited them to dinner as compensation. Unfortunately, d he first Restauran not soooo great ...
We ate in the Japanese style: ordered a few things that came into the center of the table and everyone took part. There were 4 different types of meat. As we all had the first filled, noted David: That's tongue! man struck me as difficult to swallow ...
Finally we landed after the flop again in our izakaya, where we were before the huge crowd. And this time we stayed again for last. feature in Japan: Everything makes either 12 or only at 5 clock in the morning. The reason is that in the cosmopolitan city of Tokyo travel clock at night between 12 and 5 tracks clock in the morning no more. The working population has then namely rumzucruisen no longer in Tokyo, but like to stay in bed! Therefore, no need is more night courses. Angry stragglers are then angwiesen expensive taxis. In Japan they seem to work through the whole weekend about ...
The nice old ladies in the izakaya, which were the waitresses have us right back realized and later questioned, where are we going, what we do here so that we Japanese friends (in the sense of lover) had, and so on . Yikes! * Laughs *
also indicative of Izakaya: The bran Begrüßungsscnack (German we usually do not like this: tofu, pressed fish, funny strange pickled vegetables) you have to pay for what you order to eat well. Only drink is not. Well. precisely is the meaning of Izakayas: general food and drink. But that must have gone through schonmal: D
On 16th September we went hall students will have to Chiba and Chiaki's birthday celebration. We met with all the Chiba station and Annie and I have been waiting for, of course, precisely the wrong exit. It was clear, right?
any event, we had mobile phone, which made everything very easy and the Chiba station was not so small and insignificant, as we had found the wrong exit.
cooperation Movement, we trudged then release all the reervierten Yakiniku restaurant.
What Yakiniku at all? It's actually very simple: Yaki niku = meat = Fried
Na? Can you guess? Exactly, fried meat! The other highlight whole thing: You make it himself!
We sat at the long table there in the photo and were always at a distance of about one meter a barbecue on the table, which we then were able to frolic and create space meat. plane again typical Japanese: dinner plates with food and each take it. Well that Japanese are not as greedy as we Germans xD Übriegns, again was around tongue. This time, however, also thin and looked like beef. I habs made accurately and me of Tastes of the comic wondered ck. It was also tough.
After twice a stupidity I should have it now Gelert ...
Finally there was the obligatory group photo, which made the owner of the store willingly. When one can see so many foreigners at one time in their restaurant (which incidentally was only the two long tables on the sides)?
At the rate I would never deal with the name * lol *
All lumbered home, I to Mariko. I stayed over night: D
On 17th Septemb he Mariko and I were at 8, because they necessarily wanted to show me a very good restaurant at the other end of the prefecture - Japanese are crazy for food, they go far when it comes to delicacies. But it was worth it. In addition, there was near a bridge connecting the peninsula of Chiba with Kawasaki. I slept through most of the
highways - has never been good, keep me awake in the car ... Even if it was really great fun and half the time Ramba Zamba was in the car - karaoke auto, but I'll say! * Laughs *
middle of the bridge just described, we first stormed, was a huge parking garage. After the park was the bridge to the tunnel, which went up by Kawasaki. In this Part house there was - surprise, surprise - many restaurants and souvenir shops. We stormed the great views first. Since the park was located higher and the lookout on the parking garage, so to speak, one could overlook all Tokyo, Yokohama and Kawasaki. It looked fantastic!
Then we went back to Chiba and I took the train home.
What I 17th Setember did, I do not remember ...
On 18th September we had a conversation with our Academic Adviser - one of the professors of language teaching. I was at Mrs. Murata, we have from the residence knew six months ago. We were all there to talk with her and Mrs. Tanaka already.
Before I could enter, I had to wait yet. the values Mr. David has a little time making the coated * laughs * nothing. I was always nervous as anything else. Mrs. Tanaka had happened to the office directly next to Mrs. Murata (and the chair where I waited) and came out by chance, while I waited. you recognized me at once and greeted me with a "Hisashiburi desu ne?" (= Long time ago, right?) And we chatted a bit. I think I've made a little goofy, I was so nervous ...
Then I was at Mrs. Murata . Enter She recognized me at once and welcomed me back with the words. "Oh, you have changed the Haarffarbe Ching also accompanied by a change of character" I was still not even and they spoke to me in Japanese, I only watched a little and it verpeilt Verstad eim only the second time.
The conversation turned to the enrollment, the textbooks, the results of placement tests, and our ideas, expectations and Änsgste. In Japanese, of course. The usual stuff ^ ^
fell after this conversation, all a load off my mind, because the professors were very nice. Annika and I were then first to Shibuya (Harajuku in order to feed a crepe - which we have deserved it after the excitement!).
Now I have a breach (yes, I am now writing my blog regularly, I swear solemnly improvement !)...
On 20th september was I had a date with Jessica. Actually I wanted to drum up ne pack to karaoke singing, but that did not somehow work out. So are Jessica and I - the one before with nothing! - Left together. We really wanted in a particular rock bar in Shinjuku. But now times such as Shinjuku, it is a bitch (sorry for that expression!), But if you are looking for something in Shinjuku, you will not find it. At least net if your name is Jessi and Shu. We find probably know this is not the correct outputs as ... > _>
Shinjuku at night is already a special treat are
Anyway, we then stopped at another izakaya and were the only Germans first. There we talked about 5 hours and drinking alcohol Meeeeeenge ne ... And noticed after 5 large glasses a bit! Let that be said, if you want you get drunk in Japan, mixes himself! We were able to try heights concerns throughout the beverage menu.
At 11 we had paid and Purikura. And from this result, I my last Missed train and came to summarily with Jessi and I slept with her. Here's to one's own home * lol *
On 21st September riser Shu is then dropped by 8:30 out of bed and pride have been mega. Early risers Jessi was awake one hour ...
then I'm off home, got some things done and then slept. Somehow I was tired xD But yes I had a little before! In the evening there was the Farewell udn birthday party Shuhei. Shuhei is someone we kenneng on the Gasshuku elert have Kaisei and was so nice, the email regarding this meeting us at (Nami, Erik, Annie and me) to pass.
We have to 18 clock made in the middle of Tokyo and were actually on the Tokyo Tower. At night, the very nicely made. We have not only made because it was a holiday and semi Tokyo the same idea as we had had! So it went instead German food near there. Surely us for three German xD
Previously, of course, again a mandatory group photo taken.
Hvlnr Kousuke, Kaisei, Shuhei, Erik Vvlnr million, Yasu, Nami, Tekkan
Then we stopped at a bar, ate German sausage, loaf, bread UDN chips udn drank Franzsikaner wheat beer. Some of the hard-core guys were then already very red ... Japanese just * laugh * Shuhei got a 1 liter beer. Accordingly, it seemed to him. Nami and I have not notice anything. One feels funny because before, when men sit across from you and after a beer drunk, while mans even after the same amount as a woman is effectively invisible.
Well.
typical Japanese food was shared. Always in the middle and then a dab of each.
Then we went to the Ginza and straight to next karaoke! Yay, two hours of singing. They were all with joy while xD
you I can not tell you how happy I am. Nathan is back !!!!! At home!!
Every night we were looking desperate and called. I have shed so many tears ....... cooking, when Nathan otherwise ....... always come in the morning, when he is running down with me and Tom (our other cat) the stairs .... I have so much thought of him. I miss him so and now he is at home.
I wavered between hope and resigned and yet I was somehow in my heart that he is still alive. On Friday I showed the garbage men a photo of Nathan and she asked if that was the cat that they have charged last week Friday dead. They were quite sure that it was not Nathan, but a red and white cat. Yesterday again more hope. So he has put so again. In the evening when it was quiet again called and called. Nothing.
Yesterday I have told my husband that we go and look again tomorrow during the day. Nathan has never been far away from home and is a very, very domestic cat and I could not imagine that it runs very well. But since the houses here all have very high walls around it, can not not look to the gardens.
We are only 4 houses away and have gone again and then called him in a house very clearly heard, since he has a very loud voice. It's not as if we had not been called since the days before all times. The house is not inhabited, and unfortunately we have been ringing the neighbors and asked if they know who builds a house or a telephone number. Sadly no one knew anything. So my husband got the ladder and has increased over the wall. He saw Nathan, and Nathan immediately ran back into the house, since the houses will often have only gates. My husband told me then opened from inside the roller door and when I then called Nathan, he came running after some abuse. Her you can not imagine how happy I have taken him into his arms. Happily, we both have him then carried home.
After extensively eaten and drunk, he went with his two girls, Momo and Gloria, in the garden. The two girls really wanted to rage again, but I think Nathan needs a little rest first. At least he is now next to my keyboard and sleeps.
10 days he was now almost gone and maybe the homeowner at some point come back and continue to be built and Nathan would be just so again stood with us and no one had known where he came from now or he would starve and eventually die of thirst. The problem is really the high walls surrounding the property.
I thank you all for your so kind words. They were really getting me encouragement, hope not to give up quite yet. You are so sweet. I would not know what to do without you. Thank you, dear girls.
Enclosed a photo of Gloria, who always sleeps on the top floor of the fountain. The pictures are all done today, except the top picture of Nathan, which is already 1 year ago.
I'm going to enjoy my weekend and am so glad that our cat family is complete again.
I wish you a nice weekend. Enjoy it and I greet the fall.
The first week - "and refrain from talking on the phone!"
On 9. September I first moved into my room. By Mariko's family, I've got so many financial things that I needed an extra suitcase, dragging the poor had to Mariko. Sorry!
have previously Yuka, Mariko and I have a fairly complete and crumpled-looking Chris picked up from the airport, the plane probably has not slept so well * lol * What a pity that there is no photo of it.
Even if you register as a visitor to actually get into "guest book" must, Mariko was just so up. Thank God! I got from Yutaro an introduction to the dormitory - completely in Japanese. Yes, so I was also the function of the washing machine and said I understood it, one Imagine. But he also spoke a very clear, clear Japanese. ^ ^
I think pictures say more than 1000 words, here is my room:
...
And my kitchen (so Shimoda pale with envy!):
On 10th September we had our first orientation, or orientation session. Annika and I are extra gelatscht to Hiyoshi to show Chris the first road to the university. Yeah, we've created just the morning! We were of course totally in the rush hour and there was a lively Group Hug.
On campus we have been through the best goal I have not shot this time, so a picture from the Internet:
east entrance, which I like best (Mita Campus)
We then had to first find our room and met on the road for 2 Chinese, and Katy is from Wales, Ruby Hong Kong, and chatted for a while. Soon we realized: Hups, we stand in front of the wrong building! Thank God there was still time to quickly dart in the right. Where it is "fast" not quite met, because we found the entrance after several attempts, and were then in the Hntereingang so obvious to us that Signs were missing and we are the first and only Japanese but we ran into, asked. xD
sat in the room we then with about 200 other exchange students and after a short introduction was the toughest challenge: "Please imagine."
And then we were all on the stage shake Uniweise (a university in the United States shot the bird off with 19 students) and introduce ourselves before all. I'm already quite used to speaking in front of 200 but I was completely unknown to students, but then a little strange.
thank God I knew Jessi, who now makes her Masters at Keio. During my presentation I have to stick to its freundlichn face * lol * On the day we also got to know David, who is at their University (Dusseldorf) and Chris shares the same dorm.
When it came to this introduction to the award of the JASSO scholarship, we soon found out: so "special" it does not seem to be, because it left us only about a third of the students who have received none. And some of which are MEXT scholarship (130,000 yen a month - living safe). Some assumptions have been raised that the university has received more support from deim cash injection pot and why we have so many scholars are (the half was in fact only very shortly before their stay at the message ...). But we do not know any details.
Then we wanted to open "more quickly" our Japanese account that we needed for the collection of rent. But that fix did not do.
When we got to the bank (with Paul and Ian from America in tow), we faced with a horde of foreigners who somehow had the same aim in mind. Finally, the Keio fix requires the copies of a Bank Books. After a short wait
we were piloted by a friendly young woman in a room (yes, we, very important) and were allowed to fill with their help because the application form. What in Japan is booked well otherwise relatively fixed, with 90 minutes to book with us ... Okay, you have to say this: it was us in Japanese explains what must be in there, what we have understood. But then they wanted a phone number and we have not had mobile phones ... Well, took just ...
I hope Annika forgive, from their camera Left to right: David (Dusseldorf), ^ _ ^, Paul (America)
the evening we went managed cht, but happy to bed.
On 11th September we started to get nervous, because the placement test was the next day (because of weekend which was a Saturday!).
Initially, there was again Orientations (Now I know what Frank said last year the ... Dinger abound!). And I had a little smile but when I got most of said what I had read the night before in an information booklet to prepare myself. Japan just ^ ^
übriegns We sat on small little chair with small table in front of us. Stood on a chair that was probably for people up to 1.73 meters. As Chris (nearly 1.90 m) has folded its legs under there, I was a mystery.
evening abs g then our Welcome Party, to which I went there after a little grammar Repeat. She was in a typically Japanese time: from 19-22 Clock. Although, what eigntlich long for something so typical Japanese * laugh * noteworthy were the shoes at the entrance ... I have met again
there next to some familiar faces also Yutaro who has instructed me in my dorm here. You can be really envious of how well his German is. Ok, he was also a year there, but anyway! entertaining we have for the most part in Japanese, but if it was serious and I was left with a bunch of question marks in his eyes, he has explained it either in German or English, depending. Food and soft drinks were also provided. Some have brought what (and afterwards was a lot about), there was even alcohol! But the Japanese alcohol ... I got me a can of mixed indulged in, that was no problem.
Among the Japanese we had the whole range. At the beginning of something cooked Sakuto looked for us and Eri. After she was but a little out of the race - Japanese can not tolerate alcohol. Sakuto (Koch) was very good on it and you could tell Yutaro to nothing. What does this tell us? Prejudices do not agree, or with every German lederhosen and eating sauerkraut?
On 12th September gabs the placement test.
Then we were almost impossible to use, because 3 hours of testing (Grammar - Listening - Text) have then been tampered with but very beautiful. Annika and I were rewarded with a crepe in Harajuku as lunch, what was the boys (David, Chris) just not appreciated. Chris described the then disparaged as a "girls lunch".
The gems - yummi!
...
On 13th September .... What have I done since? No plan! I should carry paper and pen with me!
Oh, yes! Annika and I have bought with Mariko using a cell phone! We knew, after all, to which provider we wanted. But negotiating a contract in Japanese? After Chris Paul and David, Ian and some others were there seven hours (!!!) wanted we do not give us the better for a while and have been waiting for ... 13 xD
We bruachten 2 hours, go shopping, including a half-hour when the phone is configured. Now I must just manage with the voucher, then I'm five months no monthly fee: D Reward
we then use an ice and Mariko has helped us to become familiar with the phone.
On 5th September we are (I udn Mariko, from Alex Hall, Frank, flying back to Germany on 6, Shino, Mariko's best friend, Ayumi, who studied a year in Halle, and Florian udn Andre, two German, we have made in the Reitaku-Uni) went to Roppongi and will have "a made it".
Well, okay, we have attended an Oktoberfest.
Just, a German Oktoberfest in Japan. Or, as Alex (University Hall) so aptly described it, after it has ordered something to eat:
"I am a German in Japan on an October festival in Tokyo and order in Japanese German food."
Alex buys overpriced, German food with Ayumi.
That was about the feeling that we had there. Than on a small stage, some Japanese in Dirndl and Lederhosen began to sing a German song and yodeling, we looked equally bad from the laundry. Something you will experience not every day, so it's not bad, something to make German in Japan. Well, something rather "what the Japanese think" German. Franzi and we had to, too slowly in the mood for anything German.
The road from Yotsukaidou (next Chiba, Mariko lives there) is quite long. Almost 90 minutes we cruised in with the cars back and forth (and on the way back we got prompt one stop too soon and were wondering where the connecting line is for).
Then it was very easy to find - just follow your nose! And the group consisting of five Germans and three Japanese women began to move. I think that was considered funny.
Rear: Shino, Franzi, hidden: name forgot T_T (Reitaku), Florian (Reitaku) Front left to right: Alex (Hall), Mariko, Ange
When we on the "Wiesn" arrived we saw a large tent with something such as beer and many Japanese banks with half-liter jugs of beer and some food stalls. So 4 or 5 or something. We first set and then I wanted something German to eat or drink German beer in Japan. After I've Geshen the prices, I thought again discarded.
Left to right: Alex, Florence, Mariko, Shino, Franzi
The Oktoberfest also worked some friends udn students from Mariko, to Beisoiel Ryoichi, who I knew well because he a year in Halle was. He was a sausage seller and that was only some way to look kind of funny * laugh *
Later we have been given a bit of beer (by whom I do not say that's a secret ^ _ ~) and that was actually provided already for the most important.
against 6:30 approved we are of the "German" Oktoberfest and I may boast, according to Alex by a photographer photographed several times and once in close-up in his photo album to be. Maybe he was reporter. I do not know, because I nut habs course not looked back * laughs *
left to right: Mariko, ^ _ ^ Shino
It has long blonde hair and Franzi but also the original!
In the evening we went in with some Familienmitgleidern Mariko Chiba (brother of Papa udn his wife, two cousins, one with her husband, grandma, mom) went chinese food. This is slightly different than ours in Chinese. Maybe again a little typical Japanese again.
Each is ordered something to eat. This is then in the middle of the table on a rotating disk. The one can not turn in vain, because everyone has the right to a small bowl (and his drinking), in which he takes off the plates on the big hub something. But not like in Germany all at once, but only from one plate, which attaches to it then, then by another. Eat and so on. Pretty funny!
Here Mariko's family was once again very nice. And they have me questions and I answered, and so on. Sometimes it was hard, but Kaori, has one of Mariko's cousins, the exact correct words chosen, so I understood it well. Man, I was proud! I can say * lol *
the end it was again the obligatory group photo and then we were all adopted. Mariko's family in Japanese - I in English. As always.
Mariko's family in Chinese. Name I could not remember them all. Mariko's father left behind, Mariko, ^ _ ^, all right: Mariko's mother. Rest: uncles, aunts, cousins, grandma.
for useless background information from my alien life here: So far I was whenever I was outside in the evening untergwes, by some Japanese in English addressed.
Hitlist RATES:
Do you want to drink?
How old are you?
Thank you!
were all men between the ages of my parents and ... I think they were all drunk. Oh, certainly they were!
Then we went to a cousin shortly after home (all of them) where they have a gift delivered. Another Japanese house from the inside. They are really all less than back in Germany and have much more room than we do. And the doors are smaller. My Dad (1.75) still comes through, but you should not be much larger. For me they look so already nciht poorly in the distance a little more than a hand wide.
What I need to learn more: What Flosekeln says, if one does what.
Small excerpt to illustrate:
I come "home" (that is, to Mariko): Tadaima (= I'm back home, or: I'm da)
Answer: Okaeri (welcome back)
Admission at Mariko's cousins (not my own house =): Ojamashimasu (= sorry to trouble you)
ask me whether I want to drink and I reject, I do not say "iie" (= no), but "Daijoubu" (= it is already or is okay).
but everything I've schonmal somehow get told, but there's still more, is in Germany with a German background rather confusing as enlightening.
On 6th September we have in the morning (after we've slept many times and us this time but hurry had to - is the weekend's otherwise over!) All other souvenirs from Mariko to relatives and pass first translated, what is that UDN as the finished soup because goes.
Here I felt a bit like a live attraction. And everyone was surprised that I'm learning Japanese. But there was no one who thought I did not understand (unlike want to know as to make one's prejudices), and some have even asked me some questions. I really did not understand then, because they were mostly very polite I udn this kind of polite language is not so good ... can Please be rude! > _ < ^ _ ^ and Mariko's cousin, her sister just a year in Canada is
the evening, I still got pictures of children and Mariko Ryousuke seen. That was just too cute and since you can not put into words, here is a picture (courtesy of Mariko and Co.).
Endsüß: Ryousuke (5) and Mariko (3)
On 7th September we visited Mahalo, Mariko's cousin with the Hawaiian name. It means thank you, because the family enjoys traveling to Hawaii and was also only just returned from leave, to have the baby in the smooth increase a kilo. Welcomes
we were a cute little girl who was skipping out the door and then was quite shy. On her head she wore a little princess tiara and a purple skirt dangling around their hips - a gift from Mariko from Germany.
At Mahalo, from left to right, front: Mom, ^ _ ^, Mahalo, Mariko. Rear: Junko and Ryousuke
were then distributed the gifts, mine was among them. Incidentally, the only completely wrapped in gift paper in German fashion. The small well-behaved then asked with a nudge on the part of the mother if she could open it. Incidentally, the first sentence to me. The German greetings and introductions, the mother, who once studied German at university has taught her, she had simply not on the lips. Only grooooße eyes and wonder. Well, a blond, white man makes impression * laugh *
The CD was then inserted at once, and Ryousuke Mahalo Junko played with with everything that had to offer their game room (also with the magic wand!). describe more precisely around the house: it is modern, but there are still traditional features. Thus, the tatami rooms with movable walls paper has been integrated into the kitchen, and came to visit, it was open. The tatami room functioned as a playroom for the little girl with nothing but boxes in which the toys were.
Man, noted that Ryousuke once wanted to become a kindergarten teacher, right?
way, I got there first real Japanese Mochi eaten. However, I liked the consistency sooo not happy, sorry to the Japanese candy give a bow * *
the evening it was Okonomiyaki Monjayaki and then to dinner. These are vegetable pancakes, and if now someone thinks I'm starved, is mistaken, because it was my wish * lol * mixed not only salad, but also a sauce just not together with various ingredients (including meat or crab or not as you want is quite clear) udn fry at the then. Okonomiyaki at everything together into a pancake and then you divide it to all those present (here again is the Japanese principle of "eat-all-of-each-something" to light). When frying Monjayaki first to the dry ingredients, then you form a circle and pour into the sauce. If one has worked well, does not mind. A longer But reading this entry at an entry from my trip to Japan, so a longer explanation is omitted here.
Ryousuke was also the chef, Mama, Papa udn Oma just watched. I, of course. Mariko took off udn At times, otherwise, Chief Ryousuke was responsible. Once I was able to contact Okonomiyaki-cake and was so proud when it worked! Yay!
make the Edge of okonomiyaki. The owner (?) Took the photo.
Our homely ceremony was unfortunately monsrösen a cockroach (in Mariko's eyes) is interrupted, it is considered a shortcut through to dinner to take her arm. but that was stupid, because as the animals was really disgusting, Mariko pushed it loudly on her arm, so it is just as hot on the oily plate swish, lying on his back and was ... died ... While Mariko is festhiel on my arm (well, not quite, but almost) and I with the words "Do not worry, this is hot, they die immediately, she dies is" trying to calm, took the owner (?) Of the restaurant vigorously with a handkerchief, a udn it away. We were able to realize the horror of course and even got free food - of course, thousands of excuses. Our new room was way cool for me, for Mariko's grandma, that its 80 years already has problems with their joints, not live like this ...
After the move: A (hopefully) roach-free place.
evening after returning gabs then German pudding but - have, despite which I put into it more tablespoons of sugar as it says (twice) - the Japanese are still not sweet enough xD It shows how high the sugar content in many meals is. Or other sweeteners, for some, in my opinion, being evil artificial. this in mind: Stay away from Fanta Grape-Grape or other Produnkten! Even if Alex would disagree with me as well * laughs *
make
When pudding (strawberry and vanilla)
Ryousuke has been with the words "I lay me go there" laid on the sofa and slept so soundly that he was probably not even an earthquake or a bomb could get up right next to his head. We have tried, but no chance. Japanese have really good sleep.
Mariko took my comment as funny: The sleeping like a dead man!
On 8th September we went shopping with Ayumi "Ange", Fukumi, Mariko and Yuka, for Chiaki, who on the 13th birthday wanted to buy a present. And Chiaki like Hello Kitty - as I do! And then we met in "Lala Point", a huge, huge, HUGE department store complex, with countless shops and restaurants, a Hello Kitty store. There they were then also find. And I also. A calendar had to be - as if I had not had enough Hello Kitty things!
And it was made Pruikura. The fragrances of it of course. ^ ^
Yuka stayed overnight because we all the next day a totally managed pale, looking ready Chris wanted to pick up at the airport. (Hihi) Shino came also to visit to say goodbye, as I understand it (thank you!) And wrote I then in the evening their contact information (consisting of name, mobile number. udn mobile mail), with a request to report to me carefully, if I have one. This will of course immediately made ^ ^ y
And then suddenly turned Ryousuke around the corner, a pretty gift bag provided with the sticker "especially for you" on the table and I was flabbergasted. Could open it and conjured up - a big Hello Kitty cup out! Oh, I've been looking forward! Especially since it was loaded with strawberries, Hello Kitty and strawberries, just right * laughs *
And that was not all because Mariko's mother handed me a package. Since I was confused. Package? Something big? For me? When I opened it, I found everything necessary for living in my house: knife, fork and spoon, food, plates, dish cloth, dish liquid, sponges ... and a home made rod pocket. The uses, eg, for lunch somewhere with that one accepts ^ ^ And Papa I still get a flashlight. Which is important for earthquakes, when the power fails and should be in every Japanese household. ^ ^
So then bowed my time at the end of Mariko and I was a little wehmütg, as we all three (Mariko, Yuka and I) were in the tatami room on our futons. I will come again in any case, because in Famielie Mariko is so cute that you can only have love ^ __ ^

? and his orders, took off all the fun. A place Sprachwirrwar, German, English, Japanese - even French, as one of your of us (with I've unfortunately forgotten boy> _ <) nur schlecht Englisch sprach. Als es nachher ans Bezahlen ging, wurde es etwas schiwerig, denn bei 11 Leuten und einem munteren Bestellen, ging doch einiges unter... Aber irgendwie managten wir es doch. Auf dem Rückweg gabs dann einen Shokozug und einen plötzlich verlassenen David mit Handy in der Bahn.
