Sleep Inn Fukuoka

... at business hotels they want all the guests OUT between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.), and the staff put up a little screen between them and me. Behind the screen, they were talking loudly to each other, very different from how they acted while ...

... and experience was worth it!

The next day we boarded the Beetle - a high speed Jet Foil Boat which lifts out of the water and skims on ski-like foils. It took less than 3 hours to do 120 miles across the sea to South Korea which is pretty quick. It felt like you were on a place or a train but was even smoother, so no sea sickness, even after having an early morning beer - well, it was free!!

... videos hochlade. Bin schon reichlich müde von den Blasen auf den Füßen sprech ich gar nicht. Die verdank ich den neuen Schuhen (die etwas höher sind) und Andis Orientierungssinn ^_^.
So dann mach ich da morgen weiter,wir haben hier im hotel zwei nächste gebucht und wir schauen mal wo es uns dann hinführt, aber dazwischen melde ich mich ja noch.

Zum Glück hab ich die ...

... capsule once in a lifetime.. (just once)
8. They apologize several times a day for rudeness they haven't committed
9. When you speak English, nodding and smiling on their part does not mean they are understanding (their English is terrible)
10. The most reserved guy in the street can become the most gregarious one in a sake bar

Uniqueness of Japanese probably comes from their history of isolation, the crowded conditions imposed ...

... de una nube de hombres esperando su turno para cargarlas. El publico y los hombres a la espera van echando agua a los "cargadores" para irlos refrescando.
La calor a las 5am ya era insoportable. Nosotras estabamos entre el publico, que se habia agolpado al frente para ver las carrozas pasar. Mucha gente estaban bebiendo cerveza, probablemente continuando la fiesta de la noche anterior.
Cuando termino, volvimos al hostal a dormir, hasta las diez, que teniamos ...

... le Sanzen. Le Sanzen est la technique de relaxation Zen...qui n'est pas relaxante du tout pour moi. Il nous a invités chez lui à prendre le thé. Ensuite, nous avons essayé, dans le temple, la position de Sanzen...Outch! Avec les jeans...c'est zéro souplesse! Il nous a raconté qu'il est allé vivre en Allemagne quelques années et qu'il y a instauré un temple de Sanzen là-bas. Il nous a donné des photos de son temple en cadeau, avec la prière à réciter pendant la relaxation et ...

So here I am again, back writing about my travel experiences. Yes, I am horrible about keeping up with all of this. And it would be to my benefit. I would be preserving my memories, which I need to do asap since I can't remember half of what I did on this trip (it's a real shame, real shame.) It's funny how I am living in Korea, yet my posts are ...

We arrived at the airport and put our luggage in lockers, expecting to while away the following 18 hours or so until check in at the airport. However we soon discovered that the airport closes overnight as it is located in a residential area so we had to find ourselves a hotel - quickly! We managed to book a cheap hotel through airport information and were really not expecting ...

... the requirement extends even to American studies majors. I even looked up a folklore masters program in Berkeley, and that one required it. It seems that for a humanities degree there's no way to escape the foreign language requirement. The one exception was the journalism masters program at Berkeley, but they said that the majority of their students had at least two years of working experience before joining the program. All in all I didn't find anything that sparked my interest. I went ...

... oldest daughter called Hana was 5 years old, the next one was a son of 4 years named Maru, and the last one was a daughter aged 1.5 years named Uri. Nonetheless each one was very nice and well behaved. I was pretty tired despite having slept, and Chihomi too wanted to relax for an hour while her children slept, but I forced myself not to sleep. Instead I looked at a brochure about Fukuoka that Chihomi had left for me, and also ...
