  Johnny wrote a new blog post: 16th of March: Seto-Ohashi   20 hours ago
  

  As I took a break from touring on Monday and nothing noteworthy happened, I’ll skip this day now and got straight to Tuesday. The weather was finally good again and I had decided, to take the train to the Kojima-peninsula and visit the huge Seto-Ohashi bridge there, which connects Honshu and Shikoku across the japanese [...]

  Johnny wrote a new blog post: 14th of March: Miyajima and Hiroshima   3 days, 2 hours ago
  

  Along came Sunday and 4 really tired people were driving to the island of Miyajima and the city of Hiroshima: Ayano, Nozomi, Shota and I. We got up at 7 a.m., took our rental car and started our tour – so there wasn’t much sleep, especially as Nozomi and I had been watching a movie [...]

  Johnny wrote a new blog post: 13th of March: Kurashiki   3 days, 3 hours ago
  

  So, after a weekend of touring, I’m back with some input for you. Last Saturday, Nozomi and I visited the Bizen cultural area an the city of Kurashiki, which is about 20 minutes train-ride away from Okayama. The Bizen cultural area, is a small district in Kurashiki, where the buildings from the Edo-period are preserved [...]

  It’s more of a camera-thing. They were all quite bright in reality. I’m just not the best fotographer

  We will never know! But when you’re there, you just start to be soaked into this thing. Like me on this photo. It was kind of a reflex. Weird stuff ^^

  There is no Mega-Mac here in the Mc Donalds shops – you lied!

  Johnny wrote a new blog post: 12th of March: Running up the hill… or again not xD   5 days, 20 hours ago
  

  I had planned to climb that damned hill, I already wanted to climb last week, today. But some things just don’t want to be done it seems. When I left Okayama station to go to the mountain, I already had an urge to do something else. Namely shopping. Not for cool stuff, but more for [...]

  Johnny wrote a new blog post: 11th of March: Kibitsu   5 days, 21 hours ago
  

  Yesterday, we finally had some pretty good weather again after all those annoying days before. So I set out for the village of Kibitsu, where the Kibitsu shrine was located – one of the national treasures of Japan. There were only like 15 minutes of walking to do from the Kibitsu train station – easy. [...]

  You shouldn’t be drinking in the brewery and drive afterwards

  I cringe thinking of what this would taste like. >.<

  An office party in Japan. Why does that make me think of karaoke?

  Why is she wearing a badge saying “NO!!”?

  Actually I think it’s rather weird to do photos of the food all the time, when you’re out with some people. It’s rather interupting in my opinion

  And you’re right about Nozomi.

  Johnny wrote a new blog post: 10th of March 2010: Going out   1 week ago
  

  As I’ve already written in the last article, I went to meet two of Nozomi’s friends yesterday evening, Ayano and Shota. Nozomi and I met them at a bar (to which we had walked the whole way in the freaking cold) in the center of Okayama. Both of them were a little bit late, but [...]

  As I didn’t do anything noteworthy yesterday, due to heavy rainfalls, I’ll just skip that day entirely in my descriptions. Instead I’ll tell you about te stuff that I’ve done so far today – this’ll be more interesting

  Today I went to the Kirin Beer Park Okayama – one of the Kirin beer breweries in [...]

  Johnny commented on the blog post 7th of March: How to -> Onsen   1 week, 2 days ago
  

  Onsen means: 温泉

  And I don’t know exactly, but over the time in which I was in that onsen I might have seen between 20 and 30 Japanese. But in each of the pools were usually never more than 2 persons.

  Yesterday it was rainy and cold again, so I was in a bad mood to begin with. I walked through some shopping malls, because you can’t go to many different places under these weather circumstances, but I didn’t felt really well there. Too much noise from announcements, music and the people working there. Nope, not [...]

  The weather still sucked today, so Nozomi and I decided to visit an onsen. An onsen is a japanese hot spring and they are said to be really relaxing and healthy. more or less a must-visit when you’re in Japan in my opinion, but you may judge that for yourself after this article

  We chose [...]

  First post of the new year (both Western and Chinese) and it’s now March.  Life has gotten itself on an interestingly skewed track again and as soon as the confidence to put some persona of myself in the public returns, I’ll be back here more.  I miss this semi-sanctuary and everyone one around it, but [...]

  Today I’ll summarize most of the day, as there wasn’t that much to tell. We got up late, ate lunch went to the Okayama library and spent some time there, because the weather was bad anyway. The interesting part comes now. On our way back from the library, we saw the so called ‘Romantic Walk’. [...]

  Welcome dear readers. This is the first article, that I write on the day it all happened. Right now we’re watching the Japanese Academy Awards and that’s little bit difficult to follow. So I’ll tell you what I did today now.

  Nozomi had to work today again, so I was on my own. My plan for [...]

  It was in a different place than the other mochi, but it’s a possibility.
