Big in Japan

object found in osaka. of course japanese know how to camouflage a barrier… but why?

i can’t help myself. i don’t know if it is about my longtime sex abstinence, but some products in the supermarket look really weird to me.

look at this sirup. it is made to spread it over some ice…. shape of its bottle is amazing.

and this weird drink (made of i don’t know – looks like…. ) in 1.5 liter bottles. for those who never tried it…. it needs some braveness for the first time, but tastes not so bad. ;-)

the girls really need this… japan is very flat. every now and then you can find some mt fuji but other than that….

these guys were soooo funny. they were talking only in rythm – freestyle rap conversation. and some girls close to them were really impressed. hihihi

so we went to kyoto a second time to see the golden palace. a group of junior high school girls caught me to make an interview with me. if i would have know how much fun it was i would have definitley shot a movie of the situation. i give you one example: hello- break – what is – break looking at the sheet – your – break looking at the sheet – name? and it went on like that. they really got into detail. name/ country/ do i like japan/ why i am in japan and in the end they gave me a form that i should fill out. name, country, peace message…. hääääää???? well i only have the pictures…. it was fun.

and i also saw the golden palace, met some kapitäne and my family there….

then to a place where i have already been before. hardcore biginjapan users already know the name and story of this place

and to this place where the built a 4km path of these orange gates. really crazy, but beautifully built into the forest.

After Tokyio we went to hoshi onsen, which is a hot spring. kind of spa. It was located in mountains – snow in may – in the north of tokyo close to nikko. Hoshi Onsen is said to be very famous but nobody from IAMAS knows :-) anyway it was amazing – the house is over 100 years old and we slept in the old building.

of course you have to get rid of your shoes first. and you get them back when you leave…

and when you arrive there it is very soon very much clear that you also do not need any clothes. jukata is provided. food, soap and toothbrush as well. and as you are in an onsen you actually never get dirty and no need for dressing up. always stay in the jukata, also for sleeping. next day you get a fresh one anyway… also toothbrush tststssss weirdos. trashsociety.
so basically you can go there without anything. just go. well but wht we didnt know people do not usually stay there more than one night. we stayed for 3. haha. so in the time from 10 (checkout) and 15 (checkin) we were always alone, what was really cool. so relaxing. awwwwesome. that loneliness also gave us the chance to take pictures inside the onsen, that looked great.

and the crazy massage chair

at some hours it is mixed – men and women. at some its only men – well there is a timeshcedule for that…. but that was not my problem there. the real thing was the food. sashimi for dinner sashimi for breakfast and the onsen was the only building in the mountains. nothing else to buy somewhere. my stomach got really bad, because it is not used to such amounts of raw fish. durchfall bis heute :-( but japanese toilets are really great with all their different ways of washing your ass with water. you can adjust everything. direction, diispersion, strength and even the heat of the water. amazing. well so everyday i refused more and more things not to eat. last breakfast was rice only….. :-(

without any words…
