Der Oktober is nun fast rum und wir können demnächst einen weiteren Monat abhaken. So richtig bin ich mir nicht sicher, in welcher Kategorie in ihn diesmal verorten würde, auch wenn ich doch immer versuche,

Over the years, all of us have built up a wide variety of habits, some of which have been forced upon us by necessity and some of which have arisen entirely of our own accord. Over time, the actual reason

On a recent outing, we came across something quite interesting that I don't want to keep from you. We were on a walk along a body of standing water when we saw some strange looking objects on the path

From time to time, it's good to let your gaze wander around. The best place to do this is usually by the sea, when you have the vast expanse of water right before your eyes. But the mountains also often

Some places are associated with very special memories, which can often go back quite a long way. We have images of these past events in our minds forever, even if they can become blurred and rather unclear

For some time now, I have added a pleasant alternative to my route to work, which for a large part of the way takes me along the sea. In some places, I drive quite close to the water, which always puts

In diesen Tage laufe ich viel zu wenig. Und das, wo ich mir diesbezüglich so viel vorgenommen habe. Um ehrlich zu sein, habe ich dieses Dilemma nicht nur jetzt im Herbst, sondern das ganze Jahr über. Ich

The fact that the insects here in Japan are much larger than I was used to in my home country is nothing new to me. Cockroaches, hornets and even mantises are all a few centimetres longer here and are

For many people outside the country, today's Japan seems to be one of the most modern places on the planet. Even though there are now countries that have overtaken Japan in terms of modernity, many people

Auch wenn wir uns oft einreden, dass die Stadt oder die Region, in der wir leben, doch keine Geheimnisse und Überraschungen für uns parat halten kann, liegen die Tatsachen meist ganz anders. Es kommt nur

A recent hike finally took us out of the city and into nature again. Even though we weren't that far away from civilization, in some places it almost seemed as if we were deep in the heart of the countryside.

Originally, I had planned a little more for that day, but unfortunately the weather didn't turn out as I had imagined. I had a few hours to spare in the afternoon and I actually wanted to use them to get

There are various clues that let you know what time of year it is. Autumn is no exception, and here it is mainly the many small harvesting vehicles that have been diligently driving across the vast rice

On a recent visit to one of our local supermarkets, I immediately noticed a pallet of drinks cans in the entrance area. The labeling on the cans looked familiar, even though I hadn't seen or heard the

Life doesn't actually have to be boring. You just have to dare to get out of your own house and into the world around you, where you will normally be offered a whole lot. All you have to do is open your

I walk far too little these days. And that's despite the fact that I've made so many plans to do so. To be honest, I not only have this dilemma now in the fall, but all year round. I make so many plans

Was soll man sagen, der Oktober scheint sich wohl bisher von seiner typischen Seite zu zeigen. Arbeitsmäßig gibt es nun wieder viele Termine und eine ganze Menge zu tun, was ich eigentlich zu den positiveren

The motif of today's post should not be unfamiliar to the dear reader of my blogs, as I have already taken pictures of it several times before and shared them with you on this page. Nevertheless, these

What can I say, October seems to be looking fairly normal so far. In terms of work, I now have a lot of appointments and quite much to do again, which I would actually count as one of the more positive
