Yes, I think, today's weekly report will turn back the strange things that happen yet in this very strange land. Again a glimpse into the culture here as far as I can still differentiate themselves. You get used to many things that is slow and can "see" it no longer, and we no longer shakes his head to know when a pin is packaged separately in a small plastic bag, which then together with the other thing that you bought , is packed into a large plastic bag. Bag waste you say? Japan, I say.
(Although, on this oddity, I would get upset every time. But they're always so fast that I can not say in time that I did not want the bag (this is of course, you have to wait, as I said pretty soon to be).)
In Japan Namely packed everything so it looks nice. And if a package is not secure, you do not smooth around ne second drum. Speaking of packing, it reminds me of gifts, which in turn makes me think of beautiful paper and already we are at origami. Did you know that Origami is to come from Germany? Told in any case, Ruth-sensei. And Ruth-sensei knows a whole lot, especially about all the little oddities in this strange land. (But sometimes strange things are not so strange if one knows the reason. Sometimes. In most cases, they remain strange even if one knows the reason. It's just Japan, you have to this country love it * gg *) How about if we rename Japan in strange land? Not a good idea? Okay, then not.
further in the text, or the last weekend. Because that was pretty cool! Not only do I have dyed my hair (now see the really cool back in, uh, red, I mean ^ ^), no, I have also cut bamboo mats. With a smeary right sword. What? You knew already? You have seen the video? Well, then you can stop reading now, yes. All
who do not yet know (or want to know how my weekend looked else) please read. The bamboo cutting I had ever allowed to take part, in March. But at that time was not so good because the mats were not wet. At that time I had it once and almost there. This Saturday was different.
I'm right in the middle of the night (seven clock in the morning) got up to view in Uchiko (where the whole was held) to be. I almost missed my train, but just almost. Half an hour later I was in this beautiful village of Japan and was still smooth by Marko (my German friends there, who informed me over the bamboo cutting) and the Sensei (the teacher) from the station picked up. So I had not expected, but even more so happy ^ ^. After a few organizational matters, the whole then started at half past ten, and we even had two spectators (and one could cut it afterwards once ^ ^). First there was a small Iaido demonstration, then it went to the bamboo (for practice I think) and finally to the mats. This time I also had quite a respect for the sword (which you should always have) but I was not afraid anymore. And after each experiment, the cutting was better, and pretty soon it has quite a lot of fun * gg * And this time we all have also managed to cut the bamboo mats. Not always, but quite often. Depending on how you cut, whether from right or from top left, or even from the bottom or side, the harder it is. You have to take that is the right angles, the impact the sword run through and do not stop (which I have gladly,'m just Kendoka ^ ^), are properly and was probably much more ^ ^
between there ne tea break, but we cut until there was no more mats. This has been a lot of junk at the end, I tell you. At noon it was
yakiniku (fried meat, a bit like hot stone, who knows hot stone). And not only that, there were also Tabehodai. What? You do not know what that is? And guess ye can not you? Or you might think that Janice will tell but anyway the same? Then you are right * gg * Tabehodai is easy "All you can eat" (And that, I've probably already said that once or?), as Nomihodai "All you can drink" is, however, usually with time limits.
That meant for us to eat everything but what we had brought us. What would have been especially difficult, if not one would have asked additional two shells with meat on our table. Since we had to not only eat what we had brought from the buffet, but the other meat as well. I was soo tired after cardboard that I've felt like a big ball with legs. On that day I would stand it loose without another meal. But, oh no, in the evening we (Mark, Kirsten were (American, and I) were invited to a party of the sensei with his friends. The time until then Kirsten and I have bridged the watching of the new Indiana Jones movie. The film is recommended by the way, if the beginning is quite weird eh, so seen as a physicist. Respectively. itself as a normal person (as physicists are not just normal), one will think: Huh? And rightly so. But since I want to reveal anything goes, but simply to the movies. Apart from the Huh-moments of the film is pretty cool.
And then when we were not sure whether we should go to the party of the sensei, because we were sooo full from lunch, was already the sensei at the door and has picked us. The party was still pretty funny, and it was very good food (three different types of sashimi! And the rest of the fish arranged decoratively on the table, really cool! Of course, not only sashimi.), Of which I unfortunately could not quite eat as much, simply because I was so tired already. I have tried it but still, at least try everything once. And with sashimi I can not always say no * gg *
And on the train to Matsuyama I eventually met an Australian who has just a bit of traveling around Japan, and was so even for the hour drive back a little company.
All in all a really cool day, right? Besides the temperatures were hot, hot and humid. I mean, it was actually pretty nice warm as it was raining buckets. That's just the rainy season here. I really do not think so bad. These days it is in fact not the case that it rains constantly, but only once every now and then, and mostly at night. And mostly it is hot and humid, but if you do not spend the whole day out, that works too. Only in kendo, it is at times really hard to stick to me. But by then I must. In the summer it gets hotter, until then I will take every opportunity to exercise true. Right now I train four to five times a week. Since proud of me!
Speaking Kendo, as it actually runs when training in Denzlingen, Masami and Daniela? Any New? Exams? How was beautiful forest? (It was this year in beautiful forest?)
On Sunday (this time without ingenious reconciliation) I had a date with Julia for breakfast. After a little search we found a cafe that had ten clock on (which is not easy in Japan!) And breakfast served. Then we were a bit of shopping. In the afternoon there was the Färbeaktion and evening I have again made a cozy movie night, 2 with The Mummy and The Mummy On Saturday I have indeed seen the trailer for the third part and felt like getting me the two movies back-to look at and. And that was a good idea because the films are really good, if not really cool ^ _ ^ And Brendan Fraser does in this movie is not just bad. I like the character he plays, Rick is cool.
That was my weekend. For the rest of the week is to say, it's everyday life. However, we were in with the culture of class on Wednesday Tobe. About Tobe I have already reported times (determined), but here's the refresher. In Tobe porcelain is made, and we visited the largest porcelain factory there and visit. Which is pretty cool because you can actually just have a go on and watch the workers work at. And then of course there's a sale shop where you can buy all of what is produced there (legally expensive though) and a small museum there also are on display in the special works. We only had unfortunately no time to paint something yourself, like I did last time. So I had a ready-made patterns for my plate, I wanted to buy me necessarily) be satisfied. Was not bad, I've found a pattern that I like, although it is blue.
This was Tobe for the third time this year for me, a fourth time, I will not get there well. A funny thought.
Definitely not funny was the result of my Japanese tests from last Friday. Do not worry, I've passed, but I just had some errors. No wonder I did so well at all not learned. No idea why not. Somehow I never found time for it. But do not think I'll do anything for Japanese! That's right that is not ^ ^ And for the next test, I learn then, I promise.
I had told you that I was not registered for the Japanese course (or was that in the report that I deleted, I silly?)? Anyway, I was for the physics courses that I visit do not even registered. To my surprise, incidentally. No idea what went wrong. I mean, me saying anything. (Well, almost never) Or. I think if they would have said from the beginning (so that I understood had ^ ^) how the system works here, how to apply for courses logs, what are the "false conditions", etc. Then I could have done that this semester's all alone, but I could not do so. I'm not so sure whether the tutor system is a good thing. Although, however, it is. The tutor would have to think of his charges, at least in such matters * gg *
But hopefully now everything is fine and I'm logged in when I should be notified. We'll see what I get for tickets for this and last semester. I am really excited.
So, I think that's enough for today, or are you not share this view?
I wish you what!
it oppressive to you, your
Janina
