Wenn ich aus Japan zurückkomme, ist auf meinem eigentlichen Heimweg Schienenersatzverkehr. Da begrüßen einen die Berliner Öffis gleich richtig, damit man gleich sieht, wie es nicht funktioniert >_< #berlin #japan #sev

When you vacation in #Japan, you should have a look who owns your hotel chain. We stayed at APA hotels for a couple of days and didn’t know that you get far right books included in your room…that part we didn’t research… 😞

This vacation I used the Shinkansen three times (Nozomi and Hikari). I really liked it. It is on time, fast and you got lots of leg space (compared to the ICE in Germany or economy class in an airplane). #japan

Another thing done from the bucket list: stay a night in a capsule hotel.

I can’t recommend it at all. It was hot in the capsule, you hear people snoring, until late in the night people got in and out of the room with the capsules. It is like a dorm with a bit more privacy. #japan

It is satisfying to know that my Japanese is still good enough to manage my daily life as a tourist here. And people seem generally happy that we are speaking Japanese with them 😃

By the way - best vacation of my life so far. #japan #travel

We bought fast passes for the Universal Studios in Japan and thought that admission tickets are included because it cost so much money. And then we discovered that you need this in addition… wow.🤯

Charging up some classics… #retrogaming #handheld

Because of the trip to Japan that is coming up we need to do stuff on lots of Japanese web pages. I am surprised how good I can still read. I am not necessarily understand it, but my kanji reading ability is far better than I expected. #japanese

That was kinda warm today…but it was fun to run again in a group. We were more than usual :) #running
