The Jidai Matsuri, held in Kyoto on the 22nd of October every year, is one of Japan’s biggest traditional festivals. We were there this year, braving the rain as the soggy parade members trudged past looking a little depressed but undeniably impressive in their costumes. Here are a few of our…
Something for a little pastime (^_^) I think the Illustrations are great, though Frankfurt is a bit bleak and also I think it might not be part of the challenge as it is not very difficult to “spot the Lufthansa passenger” when you have a Illustration of people boarding a Lufthansa plane… Can you find…
After this quite dramatic title, what can this post be about? Well, it’s about me being absent from the blog I really love and I just realized it has been 20 (!) days since I last posted… ô_ô Not something to be proud of and an indicator for the chaos that has been my life…
Though I have a bulk of pictures still to be sorted not only from my husband (who still is in Japan) but also from my own adventures, I haven’t quite gotten around to it (more about that later), so here for a quick post are a few pictures from Kôbe.
First seen on Sumikai: Since the big earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown catastrophy in March 2011 some time has passed, yet there still is so much confusion and fear about the current condition in Japan. (As I have mentioned before) My husband and I were/are thinking about moving to Japan, Tokyo to be exact, and…

Usually I just take a quick look at the comments that are savely tucked away in my spam folder and then delete the whole bunch. Normally it’s pretty easy to identify a comment as spam, something along the lines: But this time I virtually stumbled and came to a halt with this comment: …what the…
Today I have some follow up pictures taken near the Fushimi Inari-Taisha and some really yummy looking ones from a restaurant in Osaka (^_^) *ugh* I’d love to have this matcha soft-ice right now…
I’ll admit, that is definitely some weirder news from Japan, yet it shows an asymmetry that I find more disturbing than anything Megumi Igarashi could mold. I am sure that Japan is by far not the only country where public displays of a vagina would cause commotion, but especially in a country where festivals rank…
羨ましい（うらやましい） = urayamashii = jealous, envious When I see all the pictures my husband send me from Japan, especially from all the – oh so good – looking food, there is but one word that comes to mind: urayamashiiiii (note the long “i”? yeah, it’s for emphasis, because I’m really really really jealous). Though in…
I lost my heart in Japan
