Robins Japan

Wow that was fast. In one week I'm going back to tokyo. I'm only staying for one week this time but I'm glad I have the possibility to do so. The main reason of my stay is my Girlfriend. And main reason to write again is that I missed writing a blog :D  Actually not much happend here in Germany. Except lot of talking to people how japan is and how my Girlfriend and I manage things. Sometimes surprising things coming up like my grandmother who found a 30 years old sake which my grandfather  got as a present from doing business with a Japanese company. I'm not sure if I can drink that but I think it's intresting that I thought I'm the first in family with contacts to Japan and then it turns out that grandparents have a story too. My grandfather told me lot of story's from his life but this was a new one. Maybe it is the benefits of interculture relationship that brings us to new story's. Back to topic. Tokyo again. I tried to learn much at home and wi...

Well... since i had so much fun in my first weeks and i feel like i learn much and i want to do more with someone special and i have some vacation days left, i extend my stay for some days! So i have 5 more days at the Japanese school and 5 more days full of adventure, beeing tired and have much fun with people all over the world. Sorry to my people in germany for this!  At Thursday i had a great evening with cool people, lots of eating, laughing and of course karaoke. We need more karaoke in germany. Its just fun if you do it with some friends! Today i thought i should do a bit of a tourist thing couse the last week was more like living as a language student in my second home here. I visited asakusa. If you search things for tourists and a huge tempel: thats your place!  The tempel is really nice. Even it is awkward for a german to see swastikas everywhere. Of course they have a complete different meaning here! The stores and the people were a bit to tourism like for me ...

Just imagine you are a Starbucks junky and think you know everything about how orders in Starbucks work on the world. But if you weren't in a Starbucks in japan you don't know! Somehow if the Starbucks is crowdy the cashier actually mention this and say that there is no place free and you either wait or buy something togo. But if its full they tend to say that there is no free place. A bit confusing if you are used to be fucked if you buy something for stay and end up hanging around like an idiot with your chai tea if there is no free place. So actually i find this great here. Today actually the cashier was running through the Starbucks and looking for a free place for me and saved it with a reserved sign! Where do you find that?! And did i mention they have macha frapuchino over here? :D Other topic: today we were finally forced to learn katakana. I started to learn it slowly but forced by the teachers, that gives you a huge push. So today i ran through the city and was fin...
