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.🤯
I feel him… #catsofmastodon
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
Ghibli Museum in Tokyo has the worst ticket buying experience ever. We used 4 devices to get into queue. The numbers are random. One got a number below 1000 and with that we could acquire tickets. We needed like 20 tries to get to the payment page, then multiple tries to pay. But we did it!
Season 2 of Silo is a bit sluggish…
