Some time ago, I’d already shared a few photos from the Lantern Festival, which we’d finally gotten around to attending ourselves. At this annual city festival, thousands of paper lanterns are first crafted

A few days ago, we treated ourselves to a short guided tour of the city, which took us through an area we normally only drive through. We weren’t totally unfamiliar with this area, but it was very interesting

These days, unfortunately, it’s not very often that we’re treated to sunshine and blue skies first thing in the morning. That’s why it felt all the better this time to be greeted by the day in this way

Sometimes it seems to me that I’m repeating myself and always showing the same things. But ultimately, that’s probably because I keep visiting places here in Japan that are quite similar. As you may have

Here in Japan, fall is dragonfly season, and over the last few days we’ve seen countless one of these fascinating insects flying around us. Especially out in the countryside, they’re buzzing all over the

I’m a little behind schedule, because it took a while that I’m finally getting around to sharing this post. Things now look quite different here, as the rice fields have now been completely harvested,

Vor kurzem hatte uns eine kleine Stadtführung bei einem Schrein vorbeigeführt, welchen ich schon früher einmal besichtigt hatte. Aber diesmal war es zusätzlich noch sehr interessant, ein paar Informationen

Wer als Deutscher des öfteren im Ausland weilt, weiß mit großer Sicherheit von dem großen Dilemma, dort richtig gutes Brot zu finden. In den europäischen Nachbarländern mag das noch gelingen, aber je weiter

To keep going or not—that is the question! And I’m probably not the only one facing this very question and who is asking themselves how they managed to stick with it for so long. Sure, it’s not the first

It’s fall, which means it’s time for some wonderful surprises again. Out in the parks and forests of our area, nature is once again showing itself from a very special side. Now in November, things will

When you think of Halloween, Japan isn’t necessarily the first thing that comes to mind. And it’s true—it took quite a while for this spooky, eerie fun to take hold here in the Far East. When I spent my

A few days ago, I had a somewhat unpleasant encounter of a different kind. I was in a small park, sitting on a bench, and wanted to get comfortable. When I stretched out my arms and rested them on the

Hi, everyone! Over the last few days, I've been having problems again where posts I've created on PeakD aren't being published as scheduled. Normally, this has always worked pretty well—it's just that

Das Wetter hat wieder einmal gepasst. Tagsüber war es super sonnig und der Himmal überwiegend klar. Und bereits am Nachmittag hatte sich über uns der Mond gezeigt, der an diesem Tag bereits sehr früh

In früheren Zeiten wurden in Europa die meisten Städten mit starken Mauern umgeben, in welches man natürlich auch so einige Tore eingebaut hat. Man wollte ja auch mal noch draußen und schauen, was es in

It’s fall, and somehow this time of year manages to touch me deeply once again. And even though October is usually still sunny and bright—and summer hasn’t been gone all that long—I can already feel my

Not long ago, we took a trip to a park where I discovered some amazing trees. Fall had just begun to bring out its colors, and the first leaves were already starting to turn a bit more colorful. In addition
