Travelogues Japan

So the time has come – we say goodbye to Tokyo! And hopefully: see you soon. The time here has flown by, and yes, we are indeed a bit sad to have to say goodbye again. Even though...

Konichiwa everyone, This morning we got up and first did a round of laundry. Our room is on the 7th floor, the washing machine is on the 3rd – so I thought to myself right after...

This morning at 9:37, I was jolted awake rather abruptly – with the words: 'You had one job: set the alarm for 8:30!' Now, let’s be honest: I DID set the alarm! Well... for...

Konichiwa dear travel fans, This morning we woke up at 9 AM and had absolutely no jet lag whatsoever! I’m really excited! 😃 Apparently, being awake for 36 hours straight followed...

Day 2 began for me at 6 AM, quite early. I woke up feeling fit and well-rested. Ramona, on the other hand, slept for a full 15 hours and only woke up at 11 AM, looking quite worn...

Sunday 20.4 My dreams are coming true. And I did not promise too much. With Lea and Lina, I set off in search of Soup Dumplings. We found them at Ikebukero Station. It's...

This was a tip from a guy at my host lab. I need to thank him again for it, because I've been there more often now...

I didn’t expect this day to be so great. It definitely didn’t start great: With less than 5 hours of sleep, I had Japanese class at 8:30 am with a grammar test. After that, there

I won’t let go of this series…. Part 2! So week two…

The number here won't match the weeks since I first cooked in the second week. Well, it was kind of a vacation👀

The cafeteria food here looks quite different but has the same quality. It doesn't really fill you for long, but it's quite cheap^^

Today I went shopping. (After doing some Japanese homework) Not the kind you are thinking about right now. No, I *still* need to get things like a pillow, cleaning rags, shampoo...

Today, I visited Hitachi Seaside! It wasn't my idea nor my plan, but thanks to Michi, I managed to go anyway. A lot of people joined, and I had so many interactions with...

On the 2nd day, I also went out to eat with Lea and the people she gathered. They were Samy (French), Mathias (Swedish), Paul (German), Mathilde (German), and as mentioned, Lea...

After 9 hours of sleep between 0 and 1 PM, I missed some messages and knocks on my door. So I was really out of it. I made plans with Lina :) Lina is my roommate and is also...

On my first sightseeing day, I went to the Tokyo Tower! Beautiful journey and wonderful view. I'm really glad I got my phone just for this. Enjoy

I spent another half day wandering around Narita, had something to eat, and completed my 10km as well. I then spent the rest of the day at the hotel relaxing. I planned to buy a...

After 7 hours on the road, pleased to enjoy a shower and then have dinner at the hotel. So far, the blandest and most boring food I’ve had. Nevertheless, a nice cheese platter....

I feel a lot of pressure, have planned far too little time, and I quickly leave Hiroshima after just a small attraction. I lose 3000 Yen, about 18 €, in a crane game, and my wins...

Start in Kumagaya, some locals say it is the hottest city. It was a very sunny day, so warm that I had a sunburn by the evening. I continued from downtown past sports facilities...

In the evening I consider what I want to do. I decide to travel north to Sendai. Why? The weather is supposed to be better; it's quite warm and not so gloomy. I arrive around 3...

After a short night, it's now evening 5:30 PM. I have landed at the airport and now I need to fill out some forms as best as I understand. I look for my suitcase and on my way to...

Sunday morning, first change of plans: taking the train to Stuttgart and then heading to Frankfurt. Arrival through the Neckar valley without problems. Once in Frankfurt, I'm glad...

The flight was overbooked, and for a moment, I wasn’t sure if I’d even make it, as my seat hadn’t been assigned just minutes before boarding. But once I was seated, everything...
