Howdy ho everyone ..

sorry for the lack of updates but it`s really kind of hard to find a internet cafe or something a like around here for a proper update. Most of the time you are not allowed to do anything, and we also don`t really have a lot of time to search for a good place ..

The pictures are in a random order because it`s for some reason kind of hard to put pictures in the order you want with this stupid blog editor .. does anyone know a better blog editor than the one from google itself or am I just bad at it ?

At all the temples you can buy lucky charms or whatever and then hang them there so your wishes can be fullfilled .. and you guessed it .. lots of them have to do with love. Here is a nice example of what you can find there :

Another pictures from the bamboo grove just outside of Kyoto. It`s not big but really nice

A lot of temples have golden lotus flowers (at least I think that`s it) in front of them, and Inge really fits very well with the setting here !

The Golden Pavilion in Tokyo is really nice ! To bad there were so many school kinds having around there .. in the weekdays you have schoolkids (luckily with short skirts!) everywhere and during the weekend the daytrippers

We finally found a shop with Baby, The Star Shine bright clothes in Kanazawa .. Kawaaaaiiii

For those who don`t know what a Ryokan is, this is what a typical Ryokan room looks like. Most of the time we stay in a Ryokan. This one is the one in Kanazawa.

During our first evening walk in Kyoto we we`re luckily saved by the local Power Rangers from another Godzilla attack on Japam !

This is what you get when you don`t give Inge enough ice cream for a while .. !

In Kanazawa we met by accident the semi niece from Trees, Carolina and went for a drink there with her local Japanese friends.

More pics following soon because because I have more ready but want to eat something now ..

btw we are in Tokyo and are about to leave for the Studio Ghyblie museum .. !

Bebye everyone

Still alive!

Just writing a short mail from my phone to let everyone know that we
are still alive and everything is going well. I have lost an sd card
with lots of pics but has been found back and shipped to our ryokan in
tokyo, but this means sadly enough not a lot of new photo updates.

We didn't find a lot of time yet for updates and if we do, we can't
seem to find any internet shop. I though there would be more but they
are almost as hard to find as ATM's around here. But a decent post is
following soon.

This picture has been taken in famous bamboo grove of kyoto

First news from Japan

Kon`nichi wa everyone,

 

first update from japan .. after a long struggle with Japanese adminstrator locked and upload blocked PC I have given up and doing a proper update via blogger itself. It seems I am allowed to upload via google mail though .. so let`s try it this way ..

 

I had already written a text, but I was even unable to post that .. so the text will have to be for the next time I`m afraid and you`ll have to do with a couple of pictures for now :)

 

Hope we find a better PC soon to post some more info and in the meantime ..

 

ki o tsukete,

Kenzo and Inge

iPhone test!

And here is another picture of my brave companion (and girlfriend) who
will be traveling with me:

My very first blog entry!

This would be me, scary no !!!

I will try to post a few updates during our trip to Japan next month. Let's hope I can find internet/wifi once in a while to upload some nice pics of Japan during autumn and perhaps even some small pieces of semi-interesting stuff to write about.

Now off to some planing for the trip, 'cause it seems that you have to book almost all your ryokans in advance if you want to be sure to still have a vacancy. We have never prepared a vacation before, so it's all kind of new to us. Usually we read the tourist guide on the airplane and always think .. damn we should have known that one sooner. Well .. this ain't gonna happen now, that's for sure!
