Day 7 - Harajuku and Bon -Dance Festival in Asakusa

Today (22.8.) We were in Harajuku. Anna was there necessarily indicate on a Saturday, because Saturday on a bridge there all should take a lot of Lolitas. But when we arrived at the bridge it was empty. No, not a few people were there - it was empty. Of this we are somewhat disappointed just the way something went through Harajuku.

evening we wanted to go to the "Sumida River Bon dance festival," a dance with us Asaskua. The tank is the traditional Japanese Bon dance. We asked a few days before at the hotel where it should be because - so we threw ourselves into our yukata - Well with me and Anna was put on more of a struggle. Especially when he sat me kind of strange - somehow go up too loose and when he has pretty wide open - you could also call a "liberal. Eventually I find him using a safety pin stuck together, so it is only up to the knees and not open up elsewhere.

the morning we had fortunately still Lines - 120cm long shoelace - to tie found the yukata and matching shoes - Where appropriate and comfortable what else is - the shoes were the most pure torture - but they were the only ones we've found at an affordable price in about our size, and if I wanted I also prefer to have a right to have shoes, although I actually find out what hiss-toe shoes is suffering can not.

went after Anziehaktion then on to the festival location - after 3 more times to ask passers-by - we had arrived, but the building - a school should be where it was, except for a Mä ; GIRL nothing of a party knew was empty. We therefore returned to the hotel and asked again - the guy at the reception also nachgeguckt the same - and then called us a completely different place. There it was up more luck. Only we have not danced with - somehow we did that then too embarrassing - we have not even understood the steps outlined at last year's Japan Day in Dusseldorf.

And today again some general talk about Japan and the Japanese

you really know the secret rulers of Japan - the "cicadas". cicadas are pflanzensaugende insects that sit on trees. And if there is even a tree, you can hear them - out goes to the field, listen to the chirping of crickets and imagine the 5-times as loud - then you have an approximate hre performance. They drown out even the noise in the middle of the city.

farther Des there is still the "traffic-bird" - no, that is not feathered, but as we at the traffic lights at green beep - here they twitter like birds. Some also play melodies and has even - if you pressed the button for the blind when it was talking green. In Japan, we also briefly at the station before the train leaves a melody player, something else is at Japanese train stations - they are much more structured than ours. For example, there are arrows on the steps on which side you should go down and up - and people think in most cases also on it, also works in Japan "on one side and walk on the other side" on escalators - what works and not even at our railway stations - even in the store. can in RB that I take from Darmstadt something to be happy if they keep the same 2 times in a row - The trains always exactly the same place on the platform.

On some platforms are in the places where the doors of the train are then, to establish lines, and in some even with 3 fields, where you can position themselves in three rows. For other platforms, the tracks are in turn be blocked. Once it was through a 1 meter high wall and once by a high about 2 feet - then here are at the point where the train doors are also electric sliding doors, with the train doors ö open and close.

So that's it for today, tomorrow we went to Akihabara
