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

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

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

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

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

A few days ago, I showed you the first pictures of our radish fields, which are now turning green. Okay, I’ll admit I exaggerated a bit when I called them “fields”—they’re actually just two small plant

Simply because it was so beautiful, here are three more photos from the lantern festival we attended a while back. At this street festival, thousands of paper lanterns are crafted and decorated, and then

Wouldn't that be nice? Yes, but of course we haven't exactly moved. And even if we had, it certainly wouldn't be to such fancy surroundings. Although, to be honest, it wouldn't look too bad on us. We took

That’s right—that’s exactly how a day should end! Our outing was really fun, and there was something for everyone. Sunshine and blue skies, green nature and fresh air, plus games, fun, and ice cream. Honestly,

Today’s excursion takes us very close to the German capital, Berlin—specifically to Potsdam. The capital of the state of Brandenburg lies right next to Berlin’s city limits and is surrounded by many lakes,

Irgendwie bin ich heute an diesem Sonntag bei einem ganz alten Schlager hängergeblieben, den ich selber eigentlich nie gehört habe. Klar kenne ich den Namen und dne Refrain, aber das war schon alles. Aber

Im Laufe meiner Zeit hier im Land der aufgehenden Sonne habe ich bereits so einige Orte bereist und besucht, und dabei dieses großartige Land von vielen verschiedenen Seiten aus entdecken können. Wenn

None of us likes to bump our heads, but most of us have probably had this experience at least once in our lives. Here in Japan, this risk is much higher than in other countries, especially as in the western

Von so einigen großen Zivilisationen ist außer einigen Überlieferungen und Legenden so gut wie gar nichts geblieben, von anderen zeugen wenigstens noch ein paar Steine und Ruinen. Die Geschichten, die

It's like every year - the days and weeks go by and the months change. And when you look at the calendar, suddenly it's already May and you wonder what's happened. And then you realize once again how quickly

Today we back again on Mt. Fuji, and after watching the sunrise and welcoming the new day, we now set out on the descent. Although it was only September, there was already some snow on top of the summit

As I have mentioned many times before, in Japan I am always drawn to the many large and small temples and shrines that seem to be everywhere in the Land of the Rising Sun. It's not that I am particularly
