24.03.2015 I’m finally sitting in a plane to Japan and I feel both sad and elated at the same time. I just had to say my last goodbyes and that really wasn’t easy. But let’s rewind a moment and take a look at the last weeks. Before I could get really started with the apartment…
My first visit to the Tokyo Tower was not ideal for the view because of fog that crept around the town, but I was impressed nevertheless. I’m looking forward to visit again (and take some better pictures ^^)
I’m sitting on the sofa in the guestroom/study of one of my best friends and contemplate the last two days. I always say “one of my best friends” because I always had two. All three of us have a name starting with M so let’s just call us the 3M. We hve been together since…

Japan is known as one of the most expensive countries, with Tokyo being one of the most expensive towns, and it can be daunting to think about all the…
With the dreadful weather the last days I thought about a question that was randomly posted on Facebook: Where do you want to be right now? For me the first place that came to mind was Miyajima. Granted, Miyajima is not comparable to paradise beaches in the carribean but the first time I was there…
Slowly but surely moving to Japan becomes reality. This weekend I finally booked my flight with ANA (All Nippon Airways) and I’ll leave germany on March 24th. I had to wait until January 8th to book my ticket because all tickets booked on or after this day have a baggage allowance of not one but…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope you had a blast and that the new year brings everything you ever wished for (^_^)
