Ok folks, we switched to a new blog for our Japan year.
Uuh, there has been no blogging form my part for a while. The reason is simple - I've been quite busy. Besides the "mikadesign" project there has also been some progress for my diploma work! Currently, I'm sitting in front of my computer everyday, trying to make sense out of some hundred pages of text... I hope to finish my diploma work in the beginning of December.
Germania can be found In Ginza, at the top floor of one of the many tall buildings. It's a gathering place for all lovers of german folklore of the past times - the place was established shortly after 2nd world war. The club is decorated with many souvenirs from and around germany, and of course original german beer and food is served in abundance. Wurscht, Sauerkraut, Spätzle - as you wish!

Ich bin auch schon eingeladen, im Hause eines Unbekannten zu übernachten, da in der Nacht auf den 6. Aug scheinbar kein freies Hotelzimmer mehr zu finden war. Scheint ne grosse Sache zu sein.
Ganz der Student, widmete ich einen weiteren Sonntag Nachmittag der Analyse von Harajuku, dem Mekka der hiesigen "Visual Kei" (Verschmelzung von Musik und Kleiderkult - z.B. Tokyo Hotel) und "CosPlay" Szene (von Costume Play).
