After visiting Split in 2015 with students we simply went for an AirBnB in Zagreb 🙂 Actually not a bad place to live…

Paris
After some month without travelling I headed out to Paris! Thanks to the TGV and Deutsche Bahn Stuttgart – Paris is about 4 hours without any security checks (plane) or traffic jam (car).
Lovely town, awesome food and simply an old friend to visit.

Japan, Japan, it’s all about Japan!
Every now and then – I head to Japan to visit family, friends and some other bunch of people 🙂 This year I had the chance to leave for mor than a month and gladly I travelled a lot!
At first, I travelled to Shikoku, visited marvelous cities like Kochi, Shimanto and the beaches and continued to Naruto. Last days of this trip had been Nao-Shima (yes – pun intended!) and Kurashiki.
Last but not least a friend and I travelled from Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto) to Kanazawa, proceeded to Kanto (Tokyo & Kamakura) and ended up again in Kansai at Nara.
Couple of days with my family – and I left again for Europe! 🙂

It’s Japan. As usual.
As every year – I’m in Japan. For now I will spend five weeks in and I’m pretty much enjoying this stay!
Family is in good condition and Japan’s economy looks more or less stable.

Thank you Morocco
No thought had been spent and we booked a flight to Morocco. Gracefully Lufthansa went on strike so we had to rebook 10 hours before departure. Thanks LH 🙂
Anyhow – lovely experiences with all those fun people we met!

check – first oldtimer!
I got my first oldtimer, a soviet styled moped made in 1976 in the German Democratic Republic previously owned by a friend. A Schwalbe KR51/1 model K; K for Komfort // comfort.
3.5 bhp, 65 km/h max, nearly no torque, barely no sound absorbers and a lot of good vibrations.
Biggest issue – it was parked in Essen, 480 km from Reutlingen. But beeing well known as a no-brainer I tried to ride it to Reutlingen. But 80 kilometers upfront the cylinder broke. Bad luck, but got the full winter for repairs. Let’s see!

Happy New Year!!!
This Year I had a visitor from Japan. Nori-Kun a employee at NOSTRA, Osaka, Japan. We went to Kempten, the place where I have studied at bachelor degrees time. Far too cold (-11°C) and too much of snow (+50cm) for us. But anyhow – we made it and simply had a nice time there!
As usual: Happy New Year!

Heute: スイカ / Wassermelone
Ich muss sagen – ich liebe Wassermelonen!!!!!
Schon als Kind drängelte ich meine Mutter ständigst dazu Wassermelonen zu kaufen (aus gutem Grund!!)Aber…was man leider behaupten muss – in Japan sind sie süßer!
Und netterweise, gibt es bei aufgeschnittenen Melonen immer einen numerischen Wert auf dem Preisschild
Das einem dann die Süße der Melone anzeigt (was meiner Meinung auch noch recht gut hinkommt, jedenfalls schmecke ich einen Unterschied zwischen 11 und 12).
Allerdings basiert die Methode leider nicht auf einem Oechslemeter o.Ä. sondern auf einer simplen Farbtabelle – da hätte ich bei den Hightech verliebten Japanern eigentlich mehr erwartet 😎Aber egal…solang es Wassermelonen im Überfluss gibt – bin ich happy 🙂
Wer weiß bloß da nur – ob selbst das Obst in Japan so voll von Chemie ist wie der Rest der Lebensmittel!
Ich freu mich jedenfalls auf Bio-Läden!!!
