The next trip through the country of the Rising Sun to stand! This time I should not go alone, but together with Henning and Andre. Since I knew from the last trip that the Shinkansen is fast and convenient, but also very expensive, we perform this time with night buses! While taking you around 6 hours, but only half as expensive as the Shinkansen. Since Japanese whatsoever, and can sleep anywhere, it is a night bus for just the right thing! But unfortunately for Flobiginjapan containing only limited ... Well make it short for it, I've eaten is not very comfortable and not soo much sleep ... but fortunately there was before getting on the bus a free coupon for a coffee at McDonalds and we would then redeem the same, but the McDo Unfortunately, only made by 7 clock, so we had to kill an hour. Since you are not in Kyoto can spit without any significant temple meet ;-) we also watched like the first station near you! Very quiet and peaceful at this hour!
Then at 7 AM but first some coffee! luckily there was still the same when buying a Früstücksburgers NEN voucher, so it was no shortage of us coffee! ;-)
After that it went back to the station and onto the roof to the orientation and briefing. The plan was that we travel first south-east by bus and work our way up to North-East. The first temple was the temple of the 1000 Tori, the gates that allow entry into the world of the gods. Very exciting and impressive. The gates were each donated by restaurants or the like.
then followed then a temple / shrine to the next. I have some but have seen and reported on it, I let the details at this point get away.
evening we met up with Jenny, Katja and a few of her new friends. We played a little bar hopping and had a lot of fun. (+ I got my first offer of marriage was ... ;-))
The night we wanted to spend but then men in nem Zen temple. It was an interesting place to stay, but since we do not have the Zen meditation in the morning before with, it was no different in nem hotel, I would say. The plant was however very large and so we already had our first sightseeing before the departure station. Today was the north-west and west of Kyoto will be asked. It went to Kinkakuji, which with the Koyu, the autumn colors of the leaves, looked even more beautiful and Ryoanji Temple with its famous rock garden. In this large rock garden stones are arranged so that no matter where you look, never see all at once! Very interesting!
went: After a light lunch then to the west of the city where we wanted to meet with the girls to walk through the bamboo forest and strolling along the waterfront from temple to temple! Something for the eye to this Jaheszeit!
evening meal we were together then. There was Okonomiyki. Man ordered to what was wanted, the ingredients, beaten egg and then fry it then on a hot plate. Very tasty!
went for the passengers, there is the restaurant directly to the station and an express train to Osaka. As cities continued here, as in the Ruhr merge the transfer does not take long. Now it was the Osaka nightlife-inquire. And there was a lot to explore! Because Osaka is a bit different than Tokyo or Kyoto when it comes to nightlife and the people generally go! It was mentioned all the long nose of strangers where to go for total and if you would not feel like there or come along then! Not exactly very Japanese ... who, incidentally, asked if there is also prostitution in Japan, I would say, at least in Osaka on! (Well it is elsewhere) is because I was approached quite frankly if I wanted to have sex. But I declined politely.
The night was then spent in a Manga / Internet Cafe. A cheap alternative to a hotel or hostel. The famous capsule hotels, we have also discovered, but I could not persuade the two to stay there too! So in the manga shop. There were Internet, TV, massage chair, soft drinks and soft ice cream in price, that is a very nice thing. Sunday's was it then walk through Osaka but the city was like death. Shops and restaurants usually open in Japan on Sundays, but not in Osaka!
Well, after a long walk we arrived at the landmark of Osaka, the castle! Seen from afar it looks sublime, when you come closer, but it loses some of it unfortunately. Therefore, we were somewhat disappointed with Osaka. As the bus went back but only by 24 Clock 10, we tried to make the best out of it and are still around a bit wrong. The return trip was a bit more luxurious than the outward journey, but I'm still not really slept. As it but again I am vouchers were home, had a shower and then I just about exhausted / müdet to college! What a beautiful but strenuous WE!
