I made it through my first week of university which was chaotic but fun. As I wrote in my previous entry today I would like to show you some photos I took over three years ago when I was in Japan. The photos a have slightly sad background story which I will tell you later on but I hope the quality is ok nevertheless.
When I think about Japan, the first thing I remember and miss are the people and nature. I’m not sure if I ever wrote about my stay in Japan but here we go~ let’s start with why I chose Japan…
I decided to go to Japan shortly before my final exams over three years ago. The reason was simple: I was cutting almost all the lessons and wasn’t well prepared enough to take my exams! The only way for me to escape the pressure and guilty conscience was to travel somewhere copletely new. I hadn‘t read a Manga nor wasn‘t I really allowed to watch Anime as a kid because my mother thought they were horrible and I had never eaten Sushi so I had all the reasons to visit this completely new country. Since I knew that I had to stay away for at least one year to really get to know a country and different lifestyle I didn‘t want to renounce security and a certain amount of infrastructure. So I could also have chosen Singapur, Taiwan or South Korea but Silvankun had just started with Japanology so that’s why on the 27th of August 2008 we left for Japan.
