February - from Disneyland to Sapporo

(If you like my blog, please click on the "Vote 4 me" button on the right: D)

On 4 February I am so for the first time to Disneyland. By Mariko I've already seen Disney Sea, as we saw with the "Couples Pass" (though we are none ^. ~) Are the shows. Mariko knew the great and knew where there was to see the best of the best. Since this time not such a great guide here was we needed more time and are therefore very early point. The original Plan was so, that we are there at 10 am and all Fast Passports grazing (for quick entry into some roller coasters). Thanks congenital "asa ga yowai" (in German, something like, not so with the Habs acres) are in-thing but we komen first to 11th Never mind, we are sometimes flexible. First, we looked

times in the Monsters Inc attraction over to see after "Minni Minni oh" as a musical.
This snapshot of Donald was the best but, unfortunately, get what I have. There was all the more brilliant, open-air, super dance, and once again a Japanese woman and a foreigner (male) on vocals duo on stage ...



then We met at King Louie and Baloo from The Jungle Book who have can not be assumed to give the foreigner among all the children a photo ^. ~ Baloo and King Louie took me posing.

Some shows and some attractions later we came across the famous Disney castle, a replica of Schloss Neuschwanstein. Perhaps the Japanese are even more crazy about it.


were inside the hall is a small glass blowing glass with Disney - and with attention to detail that has no equal. This one looked
Cinderella-Moasike on the walls.


The boat tour of Huckleberry Finn / Tom Sawyer should be done only in the evening, then everything looks best. Okay, if you're into that kind of lighting, because the deer in the forest for the story were a little dark.

And in the evening, there were the lights parade, for which alone it is worth it to go. Some excerpts that I have captured on photo, sprecheneigntlich for themselves. Because I think everyone knows that everything looks better in real ... Madness!

Lumiere and Famie to Tassilo from "Beauty and the Beast."


Belle and the Beast.

Mickey waving just to me ^. ~

Marry Poppins.

cats! Aristocats! I have it always loved!

Then we were almost 10 hours on the legs and it was really time to go, home. My feet are thanking me and shoved me into bed / sofa for lounging.

On 6 February, it was then the preliminary meeting for the coming Gasshuku, held on the Mita Campus of Keio University. Along the way, I already met Ryuichi, who knew not, and not the way to the building took place. As well, I know the super, and we both know it was in the last Gasshuku. Hello
The course was great.

met in the seminar room I then Erik, whose hair Thanks to stay in Japan have already become rather long (looks much better! ^ _ ^) And Mio, Kousuke, Kaisei ... It was good to finally see some familiar and friendly faces again, because at that time I had just a little homesick.

After two hours is plenty of thought to the outcome of the thesis for the Gasshuku beginning of March (there will also be a post, do not worry) we are all (yes, all of them) went to a nearby Izakaya-inclusive Kaisei and Mr. Samb that the Gasshuku lead.

Pretty much the only picture that has emerged. A taster for the Gasshuku;)

And shortly thereafter, we went from 8 to 10 Sapporo on Hokkaido in northern Japan to the Snow Festival (Yuki Matsuri) with Chris, Liane, Kathy, Iris and Phil.


Since the distances in Japan are sometimes quite far, we did not take the train (12 hours), but the aircraft (one and a half hours). So we had the pleasure of the Haneda airport. When we arrived

, we first eat and then have checked. The boys went to their capsule (they wanted to try it absolutely - please: D) and we ... well, in our hotel. In the evening we met up with some more friends from Liane (Sophia) and ...

drove ... Ferris wheel, which stood at a department store. So just about 10 floors? Then we had a great view of Sapporo at night. How do I love night views! I would go again! Here one can see Iris (l) and Kathleen.



Then we met up with another Christian and some friends sing about him and Ben from England to dinner and karaoke.

To prove: Moscow are everywhere, what is due per gegröhlt. The spelling is not perfect, but you can not have it all. There is a lot of fun and since Ben is probably in the Moscow-fever.
But it was for us that's not the end of it ...

It went further than we went to a bar. We had planned to only drink a beer, but somehow we had but a Nomihoudai (All you can drink). Well, anyway, we took it out and found pretty ast: It's a karaoke bar. You can sing if you want. And then we found Moscow to buy ... Hahahaha HEY!

We animated the whole place just quickly - do not stand there every day seven foreigners and have a party and all cooperate.

But even that was not the end of the song. For the workforce ... discovered the song of the same book "Genghis Khan", which is used in Japan as a theme in any show - as a techno-version. Plus matching Dance. And that was exactly

shown us



Here we see once one of the waiters in the Hellen

Well, and us pretty good mood.

The next day, after the first but very ... Damp was happy, we were finally on the snow figures. The real reason why we should have come to Sapporo. However, before the first photos ... sat around two cuddly St. Bernard, the same pulled our attention.

Here Flauschi number 1 lint, unfortunately, a little on my black pants, but ... he was so sweet!

Okay, but really now, the snow sculpture!

Mickey and Minnie and the Disney castle - made of snow!

A temple in Korea, as far as I remember. The attention to detail, the madness! Just click on the image for a closer inspection klciken.

Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo , Sakana no ko! : D greet
Ghibli can! (Representing all the Disney characters and Simpson)

Chibi Maruko-chan, which here was not as chibi, but rather monstrous.

Who can remember the Moomins?

behalf of all the cats that I love yet so fine. Um ... She with the alcohol but no meaning. Then when we

mackerel over the whole snow festival was, we really wanted to take cable car, we had not even enough snow.
We were so in the enjoyment of the only tram in Sapporo. The driver agreed to also equal to a German folk song, as he realized that we chattered German. Sorry, we did not but ...

the top, we are not driving a sleigh-carriage (other way to describe it) in the cafe / viewing / restaurant, but are just to the nearby ... was-too-accessible gone (actually it was a roof) and have a game first played in the snow ... and made a snowball fight ... and even some snow angels - for the first time Chris!

And of course ...
... a German snow man! Three balls! Not two! Three!
the way, he is called Nashi (pears).

The only ice that I have captured on my camera. With light!

views of Sapporo. So much snow! * __ * It is somehow missing in snow-free Tokyo.

Then we wanted to again look at the snow sculpture at night. Hey, the lighting, however, made always!
A small selection:

This was converted into a stage, but could not really sing both beauties. We revised our opinion, however, as a squeeze box - sorry, I mean of course, Japanese! - Walked in and ... also sang. Since there were only one: ESCAPE!


The final touch: the Dresden Frauenkirche!

then gave my camera to the mind, but it happened anyway, not much, because we girls spent the next day while the guys (and Ben) in the Salmon Museum were nowhere in Sapporo, in Starbucks. Then we looked still an old building on and then made our already on the way back.

That's it from me first - have certainly written enough!

How Much Tequila To Put In Margarita

January Hatsumode (first visit to scream) and party after the tests

(If you my blog please, please click on the "Vote 4 me" button on the right: D)

Hey, I'll do what? This time I'm fast and I hope I can keep everything. Did indeed make up a little. Let's start.

On 3 January, I'm with Mariko, where I for a while in the Holiday remained at Hatsumode. This is the first visit to the cry of the new year. And of course, several people had to go to the same idea, to Narita-san. To
around the shrine, there were many stalls, some really hung and packed.


to see there was a lot, and we always had to be careful not to lose ourselves. In addition to Mariko and me were there Mariko Papa and Mama. And thank God they knew was out there in the crowd went long, otherwise I would have a problem. And typical of Japan: Anywhere food stalls. No wonder that one is in bold!
And already we were at the shrine.

And there were people at all ... So go on into the fight! It was unlikely to happen. By the way, the shrine is quite large and fairly well known. That is why so many people were there.


So you've once can get a picture: It was completely full;)


fell on the way back to me at first that hung around all Christians advocate. So very nice I do not think that, finally, not Islamists want for Christmas at our church and preach something like "Allah is the eternal God" or something. Nice nice.

We then visited another friend of Mariko's father, who has a shop for Japanese sweets. There we were allowed to visit all his house, the right rear of the shop turn came. It was completely new and totally awesome! Double glazed windows, such things can be forgotten quickly in Japan. His wife walked around in a kimono and saw it as simply just great and gave us the same nectarines and snacks on the table. The Japanese conversation, I understood partially so, as it was about business rather less.

then began first at the trials and I learned and learned and learned. Quite a while. I was glad when it was over, all written exams and we could finally celebrate. was

end of January then first day of the last test, a Yaki-niku-party, sponsored by Mrs. Murata, our course teacher. Genial! Oh, what Yakiniku is? My parents describe it as "crickets in the room" and this is true also really great. You get a lot of meat and vegetables, which they then distributed to small gas grills (meat) and braises (vegetables).

The idea with the food go together came from Chris and Dan, as far as I know. But our teacher invited us to put us into really cut down (and it was not planned). Chris has everything and then organized the whole course was thrilled with it. There were actually (almost) all, only one could not exist.


Here you see us - previously at two tables pushed together now in one - almost all of us: From left to right Tara (USA), Adam (Engl), Angela (Taiwan), Sharice (Taiwan), Di-hua (USA), David (Hawaii), Dan (USA), Kim (Korea), Yina (China).
And we chatted and drank - was something like an all you can drink and eat thing and we took advantage of the particular with the drinking for a while. Huiuiui. Two days later

our course could not get enough of each other, so we have an appointment for a hub-Party in Shimoda dorm.
hub party? What it is, may ask the interested reader. Well, hub is something like Chinese / Japanese stew, but with more vegetables and such.
And then we had to get to the first step sparkled udn Sueprmarkt near the residence, after we find all have taken (the janitor saw me outside of my residence one year ago there again: D)

On the way we were rewarded with a wonderful view of Mount Fuji and was told no matter how some things from the final party, which went even further (I've left something rather better - at least I still had to come home from Shibuya).


As we then had everything together, we gave everything in the large communal kitchen from the Shimoda and prepared it. We see again some Kursler at work ^. ~


The Westerners withdrew after the first of the vegetables whittle back because they did not know further. So then we took care of Asians. Here we see Kim (left, Korea) and Angela (right, Taiwan) at the boil. In the right pot, what is done, the left what still needs.


From left to right Gaute (Nor), Angela and Sharice (both Taiwan)

And then when we were finished cooking, were eaten first. And of course a little drunk. After the Ganez alcohol was gone, we came up with the idea of a drinking game. Was futile, so we have left it again. But it was fun to watch anyway;)
Pani Pani ... somewhat confusing.

Here's a video:




So, that's it from me again from Japan: D

Text Messaging Logs For Sprint

people as time goes by .......



I admit I was a little blog lazy lately and it's soooooo much happened. I know you wait all excited about something ...



Time stands still, and my days may currently have more than 48 hours.

I've done a lot lately. The sewing machine is still almost no evening. So many beautiful things are created for us ....... ....... my little Shop. In the meantime, I made a sushi cooking class and when I make sushi at home, there will always be celebrated.

One thing fascinated me even more total and yesterday it finally happened. My husband built me last week a little table for it, I've provided in the evenings to read books and on the Internet, on Saturday was connected everything and yesterday it went off. My new work for the days on the weekend with a view to the garden.



Every beginning is difficult and if you can only learn with books even more complicated.



But I am full of zeal and will learn. Hihi look forward forward to the next Weekend. Then it goes on. It is so incredibly much fun, even if the results are not yet great. This week, read first read again, read.

Otherwise, we are planning our return to Germany. Although with very mixed feelings, because I probably should eventually go with the children alone. The job situation is because of the global economic crisis in Europe but not so great for our kids it's time to get back into German in and for Simon in Germany there is also much better support in specialized centers with autism. It is therefore really have much of this year and we hope everything works out, or even a small miracle happens.

morning starts only once even my 8-week Silversmith course. 'm Very excited.

Now I want you to attach a few pictures of my latest works.

For children with ladybirds



for the Great with roses



For Mopsbesitzer

I'm looking forward to your spring pictures in your blogs. It is so nice when nature wakes up again.

I wish you a wonderful week.

love greetings from
