Arabic Phrases Condolence

&& Give me attention I need it now

feat. Blink 182 me to make and so Nina and I just straight away. xD We are but again went straight to the top, not on the stairs like Steffi and I last time but continue. : O) Go straight to the stage looked really great.
Ching was also quite fast up by 21 clock. THE AUDITION began as the opening act. I really liked it. I must say. They also have a Katy Perry played Cover, Hot n 'Cold, because Alex came from ALL TIME LOW, and has also sung. Was funny. So much about 21:45 clock then came out ATL. In the background was still "All the Small Things" by Blink182 and everybody started to sing. So awesome. I've never seen before. Then go out the background music and the audience continued singing, further and ultimately increasing ATL and another with instruments and vocals. Wuhu. \u0026lt;3 And they are right my little heart was conquered. xD Alex, bright green guitar, Zack, bright orange and bright pink bass, Jack, Rian a purple guitar and drums beleuchtettes. *_____________________* Horny Ehrlich Sun xD Since I not know anything about the songs, I would still say that they have been playing a mix of old and new things. xD A Akustikproformance was there. Very nice. Unfortunately, the guys have
played only 45 minutes, but that with such a passion, I think I've never seen before SO. Constantly interacts with the audience and all these things, talk and nonsense made and everything. Really wonderful. Who has the opportunity and to some extent come to like the music should go and look at herself. ^ ^ then wanted to Nina and I still waiting on the band. But wow. I had never experienced it. Else is on tour bus waiting for me always a little "visit", I say again. But yesterday. Wow. oO blocked Later still correct. Initially, only the bass player Zack outside and I'm an autograph, but the other guys took their time and Nina and I had to still get the train.

2009-08-13 The cock of Takahama, the monkey from the Tokyo Tower and Roppongi spider

Ganz laut von draußen vernahm ich das Krähen eines Hahnes gegen 6.00 Uhr. Ich hatte immer gedacht, dass es sowas nur in Filmen und auf Bauernhöfen gibt. Aber anscheinend bleiben die dörflichen Gebiete Japans davon nicht erlassen.

Meine Arme fingen auf einmal an zu jucken: Mücken. Auch davon wurde ich nicht verschont. Aber das bin ich schon gewöhnt. Nachdem ich geduscht und gefrühstückt hatte, wollten Nikita und ich mit dem Zug nach Ueno fahren. Nathalia hat uns freundlicherweise zum Bahnhof von Takahama gefahren, welcher nur etwa 5 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt war.

The station had only 3 tracks, but it is a lot for such a village. On track there were still more people. There were summer holidays now, they had seen many students who go to preparatory school. Right on time was also the train.

the train I saw already the typical pattern: sleeping people. I had the feeling that my image of Japan confirmed one by one. Since we had a einundhalbstündige train before us, we played a little with my Nintendo DS. Once in Ueno, we walked to Akihabara, but really not much I could see, because Nikita was quickly tired and I hurry wanted for him. But these neighborhoods, I would still have to visit on another day in peace.
With the U-Bahn, we are then driven to the Ginza. This area was very wide area and clean. Also found many shops where expensive branded clothing was sold. It was roughly comparable to the King Avenue in Dusseldorf.

My goal here of course it was in one of two Japanese H & M stores go. After a short search we found him the H & M. Even the interior was different in Germany. The selection differed with an additional collection, which I neither in Cologne, Aachen yet have seen in Bonn. The prices were also a few € more expensive if it had converted to €. However, I bought a T-shirt with 1/2-Ärmeln. I came here for the first time with Japanese service in shops in contact. The vendors were very friendly and always smiling. The customer is really treated like a king. Also, this reminded me a little of America.
Although I felt no great appetite, my companion, but already, we went to a ramen snack.

The food was prepared right before my eyes. The guests were seated virtually around the kitchen. After a few minutes before I was a big bowl of ramen and a tray of gyoza. The food tasted really good. But my Esstempo was funny enough in Japan much more slowly than in Germany. As mentioned flat, I had no great appetite. I suspected that it was the hot weather.
with saturated Mangen we are two drove to Tsukiji, where you could see the biggest fish market in the world. But we are left only in the side streets, where fish dealers tried to lure customers with low prices. From there it was then not far to Kamiyacho and the Tokyo Tower.

From above we had a very good view of all Tokyo. Many buildings rose from the ground up. Here and there one could see even roads were busy. Only a little green of the trees shone through.

However, we also saw the cloudless sky and the blue of the sea at Odaiba. There was also a little show with a monkey named Rikku. It was fun to watch the monkey with his tricks and aplaudieren. The chemistry between the monkey and his trainer was consistent easy.

After the visit to the Tokyo Tower we went to the Roppongi district, where the Roppongi Hills is a high-rise building with shops, restaurants and many other possible uses. I have heard that it should be a lot of foreigners here, but I have not seen one. It was probably because we were there during the day and evening.

Before the Roppongi Hills was the famous Spider-abstract statue.
course I did not take me, buy me my first purchased in Japan Starbucks cup. Since Nikita was still tired, he has sat outside while I went to Starbucks. I entered the store and went to the shelf with the cups and merchandise. I chose the Ropoongi Hills cup. Buy It also came quite a barista who approached me hesitantly at first in Japanese. When she heard that I also answer in Japanese, she had been surprised while it was a load of the heart, since they apparently could not speak English. I explained to her that I collect cups and glad that I am now can buy the Roppongi Hills-cup. They gave me a compliment on my Japanese, but in my opinion was not so good. We talked a bit before I took off the cup and asked me to wait as long as they packed up the cup.

a small free coffee, she has also given me what I had in Germany so far never experienced. Japanese people like to drink cold coffee well, they call the "Ice Coffee. This designation would clear for German ice cream with coffee and cream. Even some names here are probably different. But you get used to already.

clock at 18.30, we slowly went back to Ueno station. I noticed that it was already dark, even though it was summer and even at that early hour. In Ueno
we drove the train to Takahama. The people on the train were probably straight from work, because they seemed very tired and hardly spoke. When I was a little tired from my trip to Tokyo. Nikita even slept on the way back.

got home it was dinner-made curry rice from Nathalia. At dinner I thought again about all he sees and experiences. And before I knew it, I was tired and lay down. Once

How Can I Reduce Swelling In My Knuckle

2009-08-11 ~ 12 sushi off the treadmill

at the gate at the airport in Helsinki, I had about 2 hours and I've sat down. By listening to music and eating gummy bears I have you marketed time. When the gate was opened to clock 16.45, have all made subordinate. The passengers were mostly Japanese. Again, the flight attendants were very nice and friendly. The Finnish flight attendants gave it a Japanese woman. towards activities which, to my window seat, I stowed my luggage and I sat down. The plane was much larger than the previous one. Each seat had its own monitor in front of him with a good entertainment system. At 17.20 clock took off the plane. The seat next to me was free.
After I watched all six episodes of the Simpsons, was even a supper, which consisted of beef with red wine sauce, potatoes and carrots, a roll, soba with leeks, and for dessert a cookies with chocolate. To drink there was coke, water and green tea. When the trays were collected, I lie down to sleep a bit. Usually I can on the plane not sleep, so by this time my sleep was very easy.

It was now the 12th August. For breakfast there was an omelet with spinach, tomatoes, radish, yoghurt and the obligatory bread. If you have looked out the window, we saw among themselves even Japan. The pilot said now also know that we will soon reach the Narita airport and that passengers should not hesitate to take their places. After a successful landing, got out of the guests. We were led to a shuttle that took us to our suitcases.
survived the scrutiny, I thought how am I supposed to contact Yosef. Yosef is the brother of a friend of my mother, with whom I first Week was to spend my stay. Suddenly I was talking to a foreign woman with a Russian accent in English: "Are you Puya?"
amazement I looked at it and saw that it is still accompanied by a boy from her body height was greater than I, but had to be quite younger. She introduced herself and said that it was Nathan, the girlfriend of Yosef. And the boy next to her was her son, Nikita. After a short time but they realized that I can a little Japanese and from then on we spoke only Japanese. Nathan told me that my mother the night before still anrrief with them and described them has what I wear for clothing in order to me at the airport can recognize. It quickly became apparent that the two are quite nice. I was really a sigh of relief.
After doing a Japan Rail Pass was picked up, we went to the car and have my big suitcase stowed in the trunk. On the way I established a certain similarity to Los Angeles. In any case, what concerned the highway and the billboards. From Narita to Ibaraki to it should take about 1 hour, I Nathan said. Nathalia and Nikita were about 3 years ago came from Russia to Japan to live and have met Yosef, with whom they live now.
More and more I realized that we go further into the country. The town of Takahama, Yosef had lived in a somewhat rural character: No deals, no high-tech and hardly any young people. Here was a lot of agriculture in the form of rice cultivation and operated by the people fished for fish in the nearby river. After the ride I met Yosef finally at work in the garage. He also made a friendly impression. Together we went to lunch at a sushi bar where the sushi is offered on a treadmill and every customer is his favorite sushi could take off the line.

There was actually sushi with corn. That and the sushi tasted tuna with me the most. When we were finished eating, we went to Tsutaya, a rental-shop for CDs and DVDs. There we have the current Download "Shiina Ringo on loan to us and the car belongs. Yosef asked me what I would like to see or like to buy and I answered his question with "Super Nintendo games." So then we went to a thrift shop for electrical goods, which are called in Japan "Recycle Shop". I really have found a Dragon Ball Z game for only 105 yen and it also immediately purchased.
Then we drove home. It was a really old house where the toilet and the shower were outside the house. The house could have been easily over 50 years old.

Terrified I had been Ellen, that it was in the toilet at an old pit toilet. But after a while I got used to it or not even that.

After I had my luggage brought Nikita's room, I put down a bit since I was very tired from the flight. Falling asleep was not easy, because you could hear the chirping of cicadas everywhere, typical of the Japanese summer. However, I managed to clock up about 19 to sleep a little. After that I had no more jet lag.
In the evening we went to a restaurant. There, we ordered raw meat and was able to taste everything on the table to prepare their own grill.

The meat was very fresh and delicious. There were also mussels with butter and Korean dishes such as Bibimbap. The food tasted really delicious and was of good quality.
Yosef had then proposed after dinner to go to the bowling hall. After we played a few rounds, we went home, where my first day ended in Japan.

Best Sanitary Napkins Boston

2009-08-11 Helsinki, here I come! Helsinki?

On 11.August.2009 I'm pretty up early. At the time I can not remember quite, but it was very early because I was very nervous also. For before me is the beginning of a long journey.
After I showered, I took a small breakfast to me and woke my father, I should then go to the airport of Dusseldorf. With my 4 kg heavy suitcase and not exactly light my hand luggage in the car we then drove off. The sky was cloudy, which made the impression that it would start raining soon. On the way I said little because I was still tired. The trip was flying very fast and I soon came to the airport. With great fear that I must pay the excess baggage, I stood at the counter at Finnair. Yes, I went to Helsinki in Finland. Why ask Helsinki to determine some of you. Quite simply, in Helsinki, I went in fact to the next plane to Japan.
When my turn on the switch, I put my suitcase on the scale and the display was "24 kg", although I really should take only 20 kg. But the man at the counter said nothing and I made my case. With a lightened feeling I went with my father at a cafe in the airport, drinking a hot chocolate and ate a small croissant. After the small snack I went to Starbucks, where I finally found after previous long search the Wiesbaden City Mug. Now of course I added to it and bought the cup. But the only passing.
Before control I have still before my father. The farewell I noticed neither easy nor difficult. There was something in between. During the inspection, I had a shared feeling. Am I really the right thing, I felt as through his head.

lifted in time at 11.50 clock the small plane to Helsinki. What I immediately noticed was the nice flight attendants. With a smile the stewardesses have welcomed each guest and him pointed to his seat. My seat was at the window, which I had requested when booking it. However, the place was next to me free.
After a short time was distributed even lunch: a sandwich, served with carrots, water as a drink I have chosen me as a little Sprite and Snickers dessert. The food was simple and delicious.
From the window I saw peeking that we were above the clouds and under us, "Cloud Mountain" stretched.

Since the flight lasted a little over 2 hours, during which I have the "Ringo EXPO" concert of Shiina Ringo listened on my iPod. This way I could pass the time well. 15.10
counter clock (to Finnish time) I arrived in Helsinki and had to find my connecting flight.

Healthy Eatingslogans

&& I try to take off my head sometimes because I can't escape the memories.

feat. paramore crazy cut so bad from the stool and so real inspiration for my tattoo not found. So we were only an hour vlt as well as 1.5 hours. Then back to the parking lot and I Schussel was nearly hit. xD Since n Hardware and I was so fascinated by the fence advertising. Maintenance of fences erected larch. And I was the "ä" in larch so intrigued, do not know s why and I go and go and suddenly Nina so "Woah Kim pass but on your step!" I was standing right out in the entrance of the parking space number and before me car and I was so shocked and even stop and Nina then only an extent. "Go on!" xD real time. oh well. xD
Then we have at home gegammelt and so yes. And I was to 4:30 (!!!!!!!!!!) Clock on. Can someone please Maki red in the calendar? Who knows when the next time happens again. xD
Sunday after Nina was already at half past ten in the living room, I could not sleep more naturally. Had breakfast and then have Nina and I watched movies. Starting from "Stormbreaker" Ewan McGregor. And Alex Pettyfer *______* (???), then "The Happening" with Mark Wahlberg \u0026lt;3 and Zooey Deschanel. Only something funny, so Zooey in the film, but already after a very good movie, but I'd say from even and not necessarily what the faint of heart and finally the Baader Meinhof Complex. Indeed a truly watchable movie. Nina and I have to look well ahead of time and more films from this era, such as "Downfall". I am so curious.
Monday was not terribly exciting, but today was finally here Marija times with the kids. \u0026lt;3 So sweet the little one. Hach I would have taken prefer directly. I also like n baby. xD
But even sad that one of the last meeting was so at least in the office. I think we'll see once the case. ^ ^

How Fires Start Electrical

Last 2 Days + flight and returned home

am Sa is then as already announced, not much happened. Since I no longer had money and wanted me to take off on the last day no more 10,000 yen - less cash machines do not give her - I was out in Asakusa not been back on the road. Well I found out that there is a department store in Asakusa - the building had always thought of a hotel.

Then the next day it was so far - the Home was in order. After the last rest was packed up we checked out - this time we had done it even before 11h something (because you had to check out the latest).

went by train it then to Narita - Airport. After a little incident where we have entered a wrong train - a nice older Japanese told us happily that he does not drive train to Narita - has probably seen in our cases where we want to go - we arrived at the airport.

There have we first have to wait - until our check - was occupied in counter. Then check in then we have even two boarding passes - that is for the flight from Tokyo to Shanghai and from Shanghai to Frankfurt - which was very convenient. In addition, each got a sticker on the Trans-China service stand - this one should stick visible in Shanghai on the front of the shoulder, so that officials see as the same, that is only a transit passenger and is not in China . Even our case were given a "Taranschina Service" sign.

The short Flight was then quite unspectacular - the only notable case only the sweet baby's with his mother and - we suspect - Grandpa and me sitting next to Anna on the other side of the aisle .

Arrived in Shanghai, we then have another day - and get visa. And this time we have even used the airport to leave - well, actually only the building on the site we were still.

The others were still eating some and then we have the Way to our gate made. At Gate 12 - this based on our boarding passes - arrived, we were there it was for "domestic flights" - and as Frankfurt in China is not just "national", we have a bit surprised. But then have our boarding passes to the official at the entrance gate shown - they would know if we are wrong. And indeed they knew it - however much it first on her when she had looked at my card and everyone else has been let go by. Unfortunately, they did not know where we were out otherwise. Lets say for China Eastern Airline check-in counters and which declares that on the cards at the gate a mistake - and nachkurzem phone call - one had told us that we need to Gate 15. We as to Gate 15, presented our boarding passes and there - perhaps you can imagine it - was explained to us that we need to gate 12 (as indeed so on the boarding pass). So we said, the gate 12 for national flights and we were sent here. After a short - for us, of course, incomprehensible - Conversation between the card check-wife and another official were applied to-follow us the card-check woman - which we did good. She led us back to China Eastern Airlines - switch - more precisely it to a service switch. To get there - to learn that we really have to Gate 15 - - Andreas officially on the map was then improved even with pen - and we wonder if we had not already done better themselves and one would have believed us as equal. So we went back to 15th Gate On the way we would then by a Chinese couple - that lives in Germany and probably just on vacation home was - discussed whether we take part with their hand luggage through the gate entrance. There was in fact, before some people - probably where a lot of great things or had - weighed the cabin and they were there for 2 kg over the authorized person - come limit. Since we have when we were first through the gate were not checked - we are doing exactly that - and this time we were without weight control and the couple does not again checked.

was renewed after hours of waiting time then come - Bording Time. When we up by the output of gate 15, and down the stairs to the gangways - a woman below was said to us that we need to gate 12. We of course thought "Oh great first they let us up 2 times out of Gate 12 to 15 and then run back and lower back from 15 to 12 Well one day we were finally arrived at our Fugzeug. The state will still - after actual Abfugzeit - on for about 1 hour around. Even the first meal was served still on the ground - was funny then - because the problem was solved, why could not we start, well then - in a rush, the trays cleared - for Takeoff yes, the tables would have to be up - and those that have not finished the meal was simply taken away. - Andres has then after landing, says that with them (Erik, and he sat on the opposite side of the plane) is a man his food had been hidden under the seat, after he saw that the other is removed have had.

is also on this flight is not really what happened. I also have most of the time verdösst - sometimes even just slept - which was not actually on the flight.

What was something stupid that this time they are "fed" is not so much we had on the flight. There were only 2 times instead of 3-times meal and in between had been time for ages.

Finally, we are 20 minutes late - which when you consider that we have a hour are started late, was very good - landed at the Frankfurt International Airport.

As in most of our pilots were Chinese - was then the queue for the switch - where you had to show his passport - for "EU citizens" not very long - more precisely, there was no queue at the switch. When we were greeted by a show passports when on official motivated - I was just hoping that Customs would also not be too motivated Sun We had considered in Japan, namely, whether the tariff to 6 hours in the morning at all already there and if so would that then hopefully he does not yet - because he only just starting the operation had - to be totally motivated and would each control. But when we went to pick up the suitcase through customs - which we have not even considered.

Because Anna, Erik and I now had to Terminal 1 - where my mother was waiting for us - and Andreas to the S-Bahn station, we parted now - and both "groups" followed their respective signs. We had to because we work with the Skyliner - the internal airport train - had to go - but were somewhat surprised by the sudden Andres was on the train, although he had gone down in a completely different direction than we are. Us, but then remembered that the station at Terminal 1 is also yes - why is the people who go to the station, but sends a very different path than the Skyliner to the Terminal 1 do - I know so far not yet .

arrived at Terminal 1, we were greeted by my mother and it went towards parking and train station - which was the first time both in the same direction.

was arrived at car all loaded and it went on for Erik to be home, to deliver him and Anna.

back to our home first then I have my bags unpacked and presented my achievements.

I had the time change has not completely overcome - is then so I was dead tired from 18h - well after Tokyo time it would have already 1am. I've still to watch anime for 5 hours kept alive - was at 23h (local time) only to bed and get up to normal next morning around 9 or 10, to return tobe somewhat in the "normal" time-rhythm. Now, from the 9 or 10 was finally 7.30 - well, I had already feared to 3 hours to wake up because it would be for me then 9am - but that was out well .

what then was a little absurd - or if one's just not really more understandable - since 8 am this morning I'm hungry for rice - is probably so because I was 3 weeks had breakfast almost every morning a rice ball had.

A few minutes - after me Jouguhrt - could provide not satisfied - - what I had in Japan usually eaten first I have this desire gave me then and it just boiled a pot of rice on the stove.

Ontario Trailer Plate Ownership

Day 19 - Harajuku and Yoyogi ... Day 20 - Akihabara and Asakusa

Yesterday we were in Yoyogi - Park is said to as often to get rid of a lot and sometimes to walk around any Elvis imitation types. Yesterday, however, was such a day where neither met the one nor the other. Well this Elvis - types have always interested me.

The park itself can not say too much, as every x-stop any city park - the Ueno Park and Kyu-Furukawa has since fallen wesendlich me better.

then we were still short in Harajuku.

today do give it first to Akihabara last minute shopping - especially Prices for the wie.mai.kai get. Anna and Erik are at some point to Harajuku and Andrew and I are a little running around alone.

Back in Asakusa I was still something there alone been on the road and again later with all together.

what you see really exciting is not happening and I fear tomorrow will be exactly like this (again all depends on weather on it - at the moment is not so great) probably the reason we his last entry here in Japan - if I'm back in Germany, so on Monday (or Tuesday) again follows a.

At the end of this, once again some talk of Japan and the Japanese.


live birds in many Japanese train stations - or at least it seems. In truth, the chirping coming from speakers, and serves as a guide for the blind where to find the stairs. Tokyo is also otherwise well equipped for the blind - not only the all traffic lights make noise - even just about all roads (except for some side streets) (which is partly in Mainz) with these "blind-strip" feature.

The rumor that Japanese trains are never late, knows everyone - and it is also true - except maybe so 2 - 3 minutes came time for us all trains accessible. However, we must also - and I suspect that this is one of the reason for this is - Japanese trains are a public danger - or rather, the doors of Japanese trains. If there wants to move a door, then she goes to and it does not matter if there just a whole person, or puts his hand in between - somehow does not seem like motion (most of) us at the train doors again if what is going in between.

What is funny too - well actually totally refined - if someone is traveling with a dog and the dog sometimes "kaken" must - sets a decent Japanese newspaper he (or any type of documents) under which he can do it. Thus, the pollution of the road prevented and you can just grab the newspaper in ne bag and throw away.

What Does W16 Mean On The Bugatti Veyron

Day 17 - Vamps concert at the Budokan .... Day 18 - Kyu-Furukawa Gardens (and Washinomiya Shrine)

Yesterday it was finally over - the event on which Anna and I had been waiting for weeks on the stand-Vamps concert at Budokan.

started the day not at first well - was in our bathroom when we were in, made wholesale cleaning Akion - so we had to escape to other floors. Despite this obstacle, we have then but managed to get up about 1 hour after going on leave and were then arrived at about 11am in Kudanshita. The Budokan quickly found we were right and not even quite got there - on a kind of square - even the first blow was waiting with vamp fans. First, we have just made these, but shortly afterwards the question arose, "we have to do here anyway?" - She has to answer to Anna then showed our cards a guide, which we only sent - through the gate - had been waiting before the stroke. So are there and we were soon right in front of Budokan. But there was - except a few other guides absolutely no one. So we have asked us where we have to stand - the first time has called his colleagues - was probably the better English than he. From this we then learn that we have fixed places and we do not have to - the first had so far heard quite well.

Then after we are to the stands for the Goods - have, however, they were still unpacking and we were sent off but go out of the sale would be at 14.30.

Since we are interested in waiting for the people on the forecourt, Anna has asked two of the waiting Japanese women - who had understood for some back and forth and what we wanted and we have learned that here for the goods pending. So we turned to do with the question or go until lunch - we have decided for the former, would eat then still have enough time. The approximately 2 ½ hours of waiting time actually went by very quickly - and it was obvious that the other fans - most of them were already on other concerts have been - look what it this way would give anything to Goods.

Then it was so far and we stood in front of the stands - I had not until quite late, actually only just that moment, considering what I wanted to get me - my choice was then the Totebag - the sign was shown anywhere what it is, there were two bags a gold and a silver - and actually gave me the Golden fallen a little better, but it was only the silver, so I have taken this . Meanwhile, like I had these really good and Anna even read somewhere that it the silver would be only on this day - what also makes them something special. Furthermore, I have me a towel - which was very handy during the concert - and brought a CD including posters.

When we had finished our shopping, we went first went to eat something and then back to the station to search lockers watching. This we found quite quickly - but all were occupied.

So we're back to Bukokan - look around us there to lockers, but there was none. We then used the time to take some photos go on, as we then have two English-speaking fans have noticed - an English woman and a Chinese coming from Australia - as we learned later. After a short acquaintance, Anna has suggested then that the Chinese woman is the one whose blog has she even read the previous day. It had then been found than was actually.

We then all went together to a cafe next to the Budokan and have us there to talk further.

Only time - wanted to and would not go over. I think I've watched every 5 minutes on the clock and the time would come up to me like hours.

some point - I believe it was around about 17h, about one hour before doors, we are out again, and have then found out where we had to hire us. Before then we had to part with the Englishwoman, she had a place in the 1st Floor - the Chinese woman, Anna and I had our place in the 2nd Floor. Then again after 10 hours it was felt then, we were allowed inside. And actually, one should assume so now that we were happy about it - and in some ways does this - there are always out we were. But it raises the crucial question, we have to go? - And so began probably the worst part.

We have - as so often today - our card to one of the guide showed us the first indicated to wait while he repeatedly had said something into his walkie talkie. In between he has also talked with us Japanese full - and despair I am already half, I've asked - he does not notice that we do not understand, he does not want it or re-admit it simply speaks of the Japanese people are not polite (even when you know they do not understand anything) to address further. Eventually, he gave us then suggested that we should follow him - what have we done so well behaved. To our Leitwesen was always higher up - that is further away from the stage. Eventually we arrived in front of a black Abdeckpane who was our guide simply pushed aside and surrendered yet more steps. Finally at the top - no, not in the back row behind the back row but have reached - before we extend determined 5, if not even more with the tarp covered series - once sought the Guide, in which he briefly lifted the curtain at the rear of the backrest, the seats 6 and 7 - and then made clear to us that our seats behind it - ie where we now stood - were. And so had also the mystery - what standing 6 and 7 was released.

We first had some time to realize that this was not a joke - so we just stood around for now. I thought that was the worst - we were the only ones who had the upper there.

But we had already decided quickly, go further down if the color.

The hall was filled then very slowly and before us a long time, some courts have been free. But unfortunately it was not so and about 10 minutes before the start were just exactly two spaces left - and still came in people. We then stared at these places - and prayed that they would remain free - and then actually - the light went out - and "our" seats were still available - we are so our Bags and snapped off you then.

Although - after Stehplätz action - not seemed that the concert was still so much fun. A little drawback I found the two levels deep abyss before me - I was there when jumping, fall for some time been seen - but then what is fortunately not happened. could the atmosphere was great and the whole time that I had not really thought of Hyde's voice is heard full well.

(A detailed tour report saving I here now * Sorry *, who wants to read can do more in the blog of Anna )

At the end - that came much too early for my taste - we were then totally sweated through and my right arm and left leg hurt like hell - but what one is after such an experience could not care less. With a huge crowd so we moved back outside and toward Station. And actually, we are then assumed to be totally crowded subway - but hardly arrived at the station broke up the crowd and we were quite a few of our platform.

Anyway, I am now in retrospect to be totally happy I did it and I hope that Anna and I have again the opportunity.

Today I spent the whole day with Andreas been on the road. And we had pretty much done - point 1, was the visit of the Kyu-Furukawa Gardens and point 2, the visit of Washinomiya shrine.

First, where the "Umineko no naku koro ni know its a concept - there is the original submission of the Ushiromiya guest house. Just as the village of Shirakawa-go "the submission is" Hinamizawa "from" Higurashi no naku koro ni "is. And the shrine should all "Lucky Star" - Fans to be a concept - these are the shrine where the Hiiragi sisters to work as Miko.

The Route to the Kyu-Furukawa I had found out a few days earlier, we then we had to Washinomiya.Schrein come first in the morning to find out more - with us the "almighty" google would certainly help - as thought We in any case. So "Washinomiya" at google maps type - and a card came with zich pins on it. And after the list was the location of the pin A Washinomiya shrine - it was even there in the description that this is the Lucky Star - is shrine. So we tried the route of Komagome - the station where the Kyu-Furukawa is - according to Rich - the station from where, according to google - information comes to the shrine - zufinden out. Because all our web-plans at some point before the complete and Linen on google - card only in characters were given - it was a little guessing game. But finally we had found out where we need to in some way - and went on the trip.

The Way Komagome was simple - and from there to the Kyu-Furukawa we found quite quickly - ok. There was a card directly at the station and he was pretty well signposted.

First we have of course made a lot of pictures of the villa - I'm just me (while writing) again looked out of the anime pictures on it and it really just made. Even the rose garden is similar to the in Anime - unfortunately no roses bloom at present.

then we are still (almost), though all the way in the garden - but unfortunately we have neither the bodies - Schubbe, still a secret shrine found, and the boat jetty and sea have been missing. There were a large Pond - but unfortunately no waves hitting the cliffs. The gulls have the right "Umineko" - lacked atmosphere. There were but a "mega-drake - first I've long held for the animal from a goose, but up close it has become clear (look of her) as a Mallard - rather Giant Mallard, at least twice as large as normal - proved.

Despite the many missing elements, the villa was in itself never been great - and I'm looking forward to some point to come sometimes to Shirakawa-go.

Then we went on was to Rich, the way by train and actually easier than thought, and then arrived in Rich began the fun. First of all - cards and signs appear (at least in English) to be there still not a thing to be invented. Then I thought to remember me but we have to cross over the tracks we first went towards the railroad crossing. Just beyond, there was then a 7-Elven (this is one of the supermarket - chains here) and Andrew said to remember that on the google - map a was given. Schleißlich And we found - was given a shrine on the - - in the parking lot just a card that corresponded somehow not our recollection of the google - map.

But we have not found what we were looking rumsuchen and not for even longer. Well nothing would be a lie, we encountered a small total run-down shrine - whose Torii on both sides had already supports. .

any case, we can now say that we have been times in Japan in the country. There were there were huge garden - once we are chosen in a purely - or so it looked very much like a private property - and we are quickly reversed - and there were fields and the houses were pasted, unlike in the suburbs of Tokyo is not so close to each other.

some point we will then finally drove back home (to Asakusa) - to have been unfortunately without the shrine. The worst thing was that we had seen a lot of shops, with Lucky Star ADVERTISED had - that the shrine could not be determined far.

later - and again in the hotel - but I wanted to know how to drann we were and I googled again to the shrine. Did this time but the location (which I've learned from the Wikipedia article) in google - maps entered and left in place then you could also Washinomiya Shrine (- Shrine) you want - and who now thinks I'm on the same had we had found today tomorrow - is wrong. The two shrines are separated by about 4 km distance (after Assessment on the map).

google since we started them on their way to us the wrong shrine has shown, I think now more that of, for I have found just the right one - and somehow I'm glad he is not where we were and we are not drann run over, even though it was hurt, of course, was not to be there
