offices ...

Other countries, other customs. So they say. But ...!
I had in Germany many times before are welcome to do the "fun" an official response. And I must emphasize that a transition is to an office in Bremen very agreeable, in Berlin, the whole thing but even once can be a pain ...
as far as introduction.
went on Friday it was that I went to my first course in a public authority in a foreign country. In Germany, we have heard that Japan is a very bureaucratised country and they could definitely compete with Germany, but I do something "could" I would not have even dreamed of! Actually I wanted to write this, but I have it now on several occasions given to the best and think that humanity has a right to know it! Here we go: To

To make an internship with the money you earn, you have its "status of RESIDE" from "student" to anything other changeable. So far so good, I thought, I do it again and went with Michael, who also had to do it, but by his employer had already done everything necessary to go to Shinagawa 品 川 in Tokyo for there to the Immigration Office.
In the entrance hall was an information booth, this one should not hesitate to get the necessary forms. Ok, so go there! The conversation was in Japanese, so I give here only about (and somewhat exaggerated) as you did it again:
"Good day, I would like my" status of Residens. "changeable" I said.
"Good day, what status you hold for the moment," said the nice lady at the counter.
"Right now I am an exchange student and I would like to do an internship." I replied. (Fatal error)
"Aja, you have the 2nd Stock (in Japanese, so a floor in Deuzschland) daundda gone! "
" Thank you very much! "

On 2nd Stock: I see Michael, he just speaks to someone at a counter, the switch is not where I was sent out! But I will exactly the same as it !?!?!
The nearest information desk ". Change?" Good day, what status you currently hold because "
" Good day, I would like my "status of Residens
said the nice lady at the counter.
"Right now I am an exchange student and I would like to do an internship." I replied. (Perhaps familiar?)
"Aso, then they must be on the 1st floor (EC), the form for changing the" Get status of RESIDE "! Since in the Info Desk!
? Aso (disbelief) Then I do that, will you? "

In a floor Info Desk:
" Hello, (I am again) I [form for changing the "status of RESIDE"] need.
"You are a student at the moment, you said it?"
"Yes." (Fehler!!)
"If you earn money in the internship?"
"Yes." (Bad mistake)
"So, the moment you are on the state the same footing a Japanese student, if you now want to change the status, then you go on the 2nd floor contact point dortunddort, since it can help them. "
" Hmm, thanks. "I said a little skeptical.

the 2nd floor, dortunddort
I stand around 5 min without changing anyone feels responsible or I could pull ne number or something happened ... So I decide
back to the nice woman on the 2nd floor to go at the information desk.
"Hi, (I again), the wife wants down there do not give me the form, it has me sent there dortunddort."
"Funny, But you need this form!"
"Hmm, could you write me, maybe?" (Fatal error: for now it is not so friendly)
"I have nothing to write here! Go to the wife and tell her you need the [form for changing the "status of RESIDE"] but your Japanese is good or not, You will be able to make it quite clear the woman! "
" Aja, thanks, I'll try it again. "I say, already at the end of my patience! Did I mention that prevailed in the building felt 30 degrees?
In a floor Info Desk:
"Well, I [form needed for changing the" status of Residens "]!!!"
"Oh, you again? I think then the issue here is not, you must return to your country and from there can change from the status, "she says, looking at the next in the series!
"Sorry! I will not return determined in my country! A friend of mine does here the same thing, what I need and he is not returned to "his country"! "
" What country do you come? "
" Germany. "
" Well, I see no other alternative, you have in your country, this Germany, back and apply for there! "
(Of course, now I fly sometimes just returned to my country! If you are still very close?)

the 2nd floor, talking to Miach :
I say: "And how is" hoping that he has any problems.
"Ah, you are, as far as I am, no problems and you? Can we go? "
"Ahhh, no, I have to stay a little here ..."
"Oh? Why not? "
" AAAAAAAAA because hate me here or something! Have you ever NEN pen and what to write? "
" clear here, for what? "
" I write to now as the form in Japanese means "
" Ok, then I'll go before. "
" Sure! " (! Leave me alone here yet)

In a floor Info Desk:
I'm lucky, the "nice" lady NEN other customers. So
to a slightly younger, "Can you speak English?"
"Of course. What would you like? "
(thank God!)" I would like the [form for changing the "status of RESIDE"]! "
" No problem "(no, she actually said that now? Or is that just wishful thinking)
"Aja, thanks!"
you to the "nice" lady?
"I need time, the [form for changing the" status of RESIDE "] for this nice gentleman."
Nice lady: "For? The first time is to return to his country! I have already told him! "(And if looks could kill, I could report that not deliver) I
in English: "But I only need the form to have me and the other said and my buddy has done just that here, too, exactly!"
the disciples: "Now we give him support the form if this is wrong, he can still return to his country ... "(or very hospitable? When the fuck off the entlich back to his country and leave us alone?)
has good Well, here he form it! "says the" nice "finally!

Conclusion: my Japanese is already good enough to tell people what I want! (! Very good) problem: whether people are understanding and give me what I will, is in any other country!

Masterbateing With Rabbit

"Sumo 相扑" or "some more BIG guys in Japan"

As previously announced, I wanted to Sumo, the Japanese wrestling going on 21 and .1, it was then too far!
Together with André Henning and it went straight to the past tomorrow los hour. For me it meant getting up at 6 clock ... Well, what you do not do anything good for a show? We did not know how large the crowds will be on the cards and we want to afford only the Unbooked places, we would rather not be late.
We were greeted immediately and a few drummers, who were sitting in a tower and the waiting crowd entertained. However, this amount was not as large as fears and we received a card. The first fight should then go off at 9 clock, but we collected only one time in a nearby Konbini our breakfast.
followed quickly by a few shots outside the hall (always the tourism ...) and then we went even go!
Fighting clock to 14 amateur fights but were still not look as interesting! We use this skirmish to each other to bring the rules and tactical tricks to date (to be honest did not really know, but it keeps us experts so do not depend to talk shop times!) And we were also very close ran, so early viewers were hardly there.
The whole drum is around eh very exciting to watch and that's enough already with the amateurs. Through a book that I got for Christmas I was on the rituals already prepared a little, but live is better! There

So in addition to the ever-changing referee before each fight one of the names of the wrestlers and the stable side (East or West) sings! That sounded really impressive! On the sides of the ring always the stable owner, and former Sumotori any wrestler who sits beside her sit to wait for his campaign or the ring increases in, bowing to the Sensei and almost apologizes for having before him, must by! The very Japanese! The stable owner from coming and also to a meeting in the ring when a decision is not clearly fails.







Then the rituals in the ring. From the book, I know that the stomp of the feet to scare away the evil spirits out of the ring, just as the throw of the salt, which cleans the ring and distributes the remaining ghosts. If they sit then compared and show his hands, this is the sign that they go unarmed into battle. By the Shinto priests (the referee) and the Shinto roof over the ring, the whole is something spiritual. And the yokozuna are themselves something like priests and perform certain rituals in shrines.

The Sumotori eat a special soup with every meal, the so-called Chanko. This there was also lunch for interested and hungry fans. So we could not let escape of course! It was very taste and nutritious!






came from 14 clock then the more professional, but still lower ranks wrestlers fighting on the row. can The invasion of the gladiators in ancient Rome could hardly have been more spectacular and, believe it or not, as at 16 clock, the "right" Fighters invaded and the hall was packed, it was even more violent! And the struggle to put in violence as well!
On the video you can see the invasion of Yokuzunas Asashoryu:


was the most spectacular and the three of us most anticipated fight of the last but one. Yokozuna Asashoryu of (a Mongol at about 184 cm 148 kg) against the Bulgarian giant Kotooshu (204 cm at about 150 lbs fight weight and year 83! So I almost ...) The Yokozuna could be stingy and decided not to fight for themselves !
madness! To top Conclusion then, the die cutting ceremony and from there was very exhausted from all the sightseeing home!

Yokohama, a city of superlatives

I do not know if you knew it, but Yokohama is a city of superlatives, why? Well, one thing stands in the Yokohama Landmark Tower currently the tallest building in Japan, which runs the fastest elevator in Japan! (With up to 700 meters / sec. And yet, one could make a coin on the floor and they would not fall over!) Also about 3.7 million people live in Yokohama, ie more than in Berlin! And so it is not the largest city Japan! Furthermore there is the largest Chinatown in Yokohama in the world!
So you should have seen this city or not? We thought ourselves and we had a visit from grad Roxy and Janina, the two make their exchange year in China because we have to go! So we went on 2
Day of the year 21 after Heisei (Japanese counting for the current imperial period) there. The train ride took about 1 1 / 2 h. But who knows Japan knows that this is not a long drive. Once there, it went right up to the Landmark Tower. The view on this day was close to perfect, so very spectacular!
next stop was the port area along the direction of China Town. We were able to To see how modern the city is and how conveniently located. addition to Nagoya, where Toyota shipped many cars Yokohama is the second most important port in Japan. (I know from my review of the first semester!)
Then, at a time, mixed the sea air with other interesting smells, and we knew China Town can not be far away! To make it short, the Chinese experts have confirmed that China is a bit different than in Chinatown, but interesting, delicious and exciting it was, nevertheless, the hustle and bustle!

went Thereafter it will continue to sightseeing in Tokyo. To Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku were still on the schedule!

Where Is Grace Quek 2010?

Christmas and New Year in Japan!

Christmas in Japan! Naklar!

Somehow it was completely different, but somehow not! Sound funny? Was so ...
The explanation perhaps only once, which is the same. The Straßendeko already starts far too early and most shops are also set very early on Christmas. There are Christmas markets (very small and way too overpriced), mulled wine, Christmas (only a usual year-end party would be too little, when two occasions) and odds and ends of all hand, which is available to buy in Germany. So far so good, you think, but it's just not everything Christmas, where X-Mas stand on it ...
Starting with the decor: there is illumination and everything, really everything is hung with blue and white lights! So much so that sometimes it hurts again. And for the rest of you notice immediately, it does not happen for the same reasons as Christian in Germany or other countries. And so came up with none of us exchange students a "real" Christmas spirit.
Since none had a real plan what to drive, then, on Christmas Eve and the rest of holidays so I had thought about Katja's friend in Kyoto to surprise. For her friend Jenny had gone out of the country to spend Christmas in China! But, as Katja is not so can easily surprise, I had her a week before unfortunately put my plans open because they had once again scheduled completely!
So I went in the afternoon, after a delicious sushi lunch with Marius, on Christmas Eve to Kyoto. Complications after short evening I came in to Katie's family. This had invited a few friends and the daughter with a child was also there, so a big round. There was a table covered with all kinds
plenty of goodies. For example, garlic rice, chicken legs, Yakitorispieße and at the end for dessert the most important Christmascake! Without this Christmas in Japan is inconceivable! (And they find it funny when you tell them that there such a thing in Germany is not available ...) While dining were then exchanged a few gifts and I got a can of Katja Beck's beer! What a feeling of home!
The next day we took it again a trip to my favorite city and were lucky that it has always rained when we were sitting on the bus or somewhere inside.
A quiet and contemplative somehow first holiday. In the evening we went with a Japanese friend of Katja to the movies. Katya had been promised me, I would certainly understand a lot and because it was a disaster film, I thought the dialogues were not so crucial but we both had to realize that this is not, unfortunately, was quite so ...

On Boxing Day we are then at Lake Biwa, accompanied by light snow, walk along and as we were frozen solid so right we are in a German Tavern has returned and have mulled wine and drank coffee to warm up!
evening again with the host family to the movies, but this time it should be a Hollywood movie. This can often be presented in the original Japanese with subtitles, so I did not have so much trouble to follow the plot.
After that there was once again delicious Japanese "stew" Hub and well saturated Katja and I went with the night bus back to Tokyo because we wanted to slide together with other students in the new year. It was then that assembled at gradually Janu, Jenny, Roxy and Janina in Tokyo and we went to a small Nomikai (Food) to a temple there for the countdown to the new year to experience. Among the Japanese, it is customary to allow New Year to celebrate with family and Clock against 24 to flow to the temples and pray there and get rid of the 108 chimes of the sins of everyday life. At the temple where we were assembled at us and balloons for the Japanese fortified wishes to them and let them increase by 24 Clock. This is a firework does not replace entirely, but was still nice to see with!

Then we went up in the morning by 5 clock to a club to celebrate European way!
including New Year's Eve was a little different than usual, I personally found it a good one! At 2.1. It then went together to Yokohama, but this gives an extra reporting! , -)
