Fujisan and surprise

Today we made a day trip to fujisan (fujiyama). It was a long trip but fun. On the way to the viewing spot we drove with an old style train. It was much shaking and slower but fun :-) on the way it also took stops so that you could see fujisan better.
We arived at lake kawaguchiko. From there we took a ropeway up the  katchikatchiyama mountain. At that mountain was a viewing spot where you normally can see fujisan very good. But today he was shy and hiding under some clouds. But it was still a nice view and fun!
At the evening we wanted to meet a friend and it turnt out to be a surprise party for us from the old band members of my girlfriend. It was so nice and so much good food in an Italian restaurant :-) also I somehow managed to understand more Japanese than I thought I would. Maybe all the learning slowly starts to pay out. But still it will be a long way to someday speak like in English. Anyway it was much fun and I'm glad for those moments :-)

Countryside of japan

The last days in Tokyo I was happy to see a friend from last year studying at genkijacs. It's really nice that we could see again in japan :-) He is again studying there so I quickly jumped in and said hello to some of the teachers. I really can recommend them if you have the time, the money and the motivation to learn Japanese some weeks there. After that we visited the the father of my girlfriend for some days. He lives in a small village in tokushima. There are many mountains! One day we did a nice adventure trip through the mountains and visited a valley and walked over an old style bridge which was originally build by samurais many years ago who lived in that area. The countryside of japan is of course quite different from tokyo. Less people, less action, less stress. So basically we slept and ate much :D Like in German countryside you really need a car in that area. But the cars here are much smaller. Not couse of the people, it's couse of the small roads in the villa

Pokémon Café in Tokyo

Image
Finally I was at the Pokémon Café at Nihombashi in Tokyo. The café opened last year in Tokyo but i didn't managed to go there last time cause you have to reserve a table beforehand! The website for reservation is only partly in english but I was able to reserve without further help. The café is located in Nihombashi inside a mall. In front of the café was a big sleeping snorlax (Relaxo in german and Kabigon in japanese). Also there was a big merchandise shop with all the things you also can find in Pokémon Centers like in Ikebukuru. At the entry was a timetable and everyone for an specific time got together inside. All where seated in the same area at the café. After seating you have 90min to spend in the café. The orders can be placed via tablet. We orders the Pikachu curry, Umbreon chicken burger (Nachtara in German and Buraki in Japanese) and a Gengar smoothie (in German and Japanese also Gengar). The Gengar smoothie was the best of those three. Even so it was more like i

Wohoo, welcome to tokyo to me :D After a great flight with really huge space (i even could transform my seat into a bed! ) i landed in Tokyo Narita. There i realized finally: my smartphone is too old. The thing is i wanted to by a data sim card so i can surf the net while im around (or navigate my self at home if i get lost). Last year there was no problem at all with this. If i had a newer smarteit wouldn't be a problem, too. But mine still uses a regular sim card and nearly all shops only had micro and nano... After an hour or so i found one with regular sim cards. But only for 7 or 14 days. Great thing that i stay longer. Im to special for them xD So if you travel here with an old smartphone,  buy yourself an adapter or something before coming here. It makes things easier. I also had the option to rent another smartphone. But fuck this. Im using my old friend and bought a 14 day and a 7 day card. There goes my money. Hours later i arrived at my apartment after a short heart
