Special: Sleeping in Japanese

My big sister asked me some time ago, some time to write more detail about how I at various places as may stay there or me up so.
meantime I am already almost half a year on Japanese soil, Many have tried and think that this topic now I can dedicate a separate post.

I'm starting to probably the best that where I've spent the masters most nights ...

family:

The room I have had at present three different families, were very different!

In Otaki I got no room, but their own small wooden huts, which, however, was only set up a makeshift and rather gave the impression that those who stood there things you would have at my home rather banished to the basement or on the roof top. But that really bothered me less. I was in the winter time to create more that I came in the evening, an ice cold room because he was heated with wood, but I am outside all day for work and spent in the main house. In my one-hour break, it was bearable only warm when it was almost over, although I always hid under my futon. (The cabin had a very high roof, where my whole awaited warmth escaped) electricity for light, I only got through an Extension cable, I einstoepselte evening at the main house, the day had to be put away but over, so it does not bother me. Of course I forgot the plug in now and then, introduced me to my little light on the path through the forest training and my salvation only noticed when I tried to shoot the light. In most cases, the most I had no desire to go back, again ...

In Mukawa, however I lived in a small room with carpeting main house. It is only similar in its capacity as a lumber-room accommodation in Otaki, but was otherwise quite comfortable. At least I would have not frozen in winter. While the wooden huts, but undisputed was my refuge, came here constantly come the children, rummaging in my clothes, climbed over my mattress through the window onto the roof and made other things in the lunch break when you wanted to sleep like a little disturbing were. Instructions were simply ignored. Therefore, I submitted with my personal belongings from not even first. Here I was also only two weeks.

on Canadianfarm in Haramura (Nagano) I had a real tatami room with the antique farm wallpaper in one of the outbuilding. It was quite cozy and the matting, it had a pleasant smell. It was also practical because you could hear through the covered balcony on which herausfuerte a sliding door when it rained. So I knew if I was six when my alarm clock rang, slowly peel from the warm sheets had, or was allowed to continue to nap half past seven. (In case of rain, we went to the fields is nothing for harvesting and weeding, but met only about eight for breakfast). A real main house was not here.
In all families, I got yet traditional futon to sleep.

tents (camping):

tents can be here in Japan very well. Particularly in Hokkaido, there are many beautiful places, some daven very natural and rustic held - Rasenflaechen rather simple, with only a small Waschhaus.Diese me were most like, because it remained undisturbed.
My tent itself is indeed very small - large in size I have therefore never prefer to leave all things in the pockets and draped them on either side of my mattress as a small wall of protection. Also for the, case that it should rain, what it is not wise to keep a bit outside of the waterproof panniers.
to my tent I like that it weighs almost nothing and build up fast. In addition, it dries well, when things get wet.

Apartments:

The typical Japanese Single apartments are very small. Especially in Tokyo. In case there was Angelotti except the tiny bathroom is not a proper Room when one such as defined with separate room door. The room where we slept, was rather a widening of the corridor, in which there was also a kitchenette. So here's my air mattress was very practical - I was able to evacuate on the balcony during the day or simply lean against a wall.

Claus apartment was bigger and had in addition to the still wider Kuechenflur one, be closed by sliding door Tatami room. So I even had the choice between air mattress on tatami or western bed in the hallway. Both were very comfortable.

Apartment of a helpful family about the laundry facilities in Niigata, however, had many rooms and I was even in the daughter's room to sleep on a futon, though of course I would have taken even with the sofa in the living room preference!

Hotel:'ve

meisst the money I spent by far the hotel. Therefore, I allowed myself this luxury so far only twice - for the night I arrived by plane in Chitose and in Matsumoto, where it was just simply nothing else! (And I am now well in finding the cheapest accommodation in a strange city ...)
course the price is justified in both cases by their own shower and toilet, toiletries, western bed and TV (who is in need).
I really do not need all that but with less luxurious accommodation and am very happy, I avoid it if possible. The failure to society is more of a minus point. Too much privacy is a hindrance to make new friends.

Ryokan:

is It is Japanese style inns, where you also receive the traditional way and is attended to.

I made in my Niigata Ryokan experience and was pleasantly surprised how nice the rooms are available. You have nothing of the sterile nature of most hotel rooms and you feel at ease. So I also spent like more time within these four walls and was not just to sleep there.
I got free green tea (of course) a Futon and received a yukata (a type of Japanese robe for all day and night)
many opportunities to establish myself, but it was not for lack of closets. Therefore, I left everything in the bags that I had parked on the safe side newspaper.

Minshuku:

I've only slept in one of those unprofessional Privatunterkuenfte, then on the way to Wakkanai and it was just good enough to be a to spend a dry night. I got a pretty run-down, musty room with spotty carpet whose only piece of furniture from a small table passed. were a real window, it is not only a kind of horizontal embrasures, the glazing was not open and why it was quickly dried by my tropical stuff in combination with the heater cranked.
The bathroom I shared with the other guests and a number of sink was located in the entrance area.
But I would have for a small fee a warm, home-cooked meal obtained.

Bed & Breakfast:

Yeah, it's even in Japan! The rooms were in my case in Niigata, designed for four people, but I was lucky and the whole room for me! (He was also close enough and there were no lockers to store personal belongings)
food was not included and I also shared the bathroom with the other. I also liked the large community room where someone was almost always to be found and offered the opportunity to meet new people and talk.

youth hostel ge:

For me it is about the same level as a bed & breakfast hotel, but I still like the latter has better atmosphere. The hostels were sometimes a bit run down or to reach poor. But the worse the hostel, the friendly staff. In any case, I've felt this way. But one must also
them credit, they offer many brochures about attractions and beautiful scenery nearby. (Can you find but also at the station or ask at post offices)
Over the youth to their own locker in the room, you can finish it. So I had to tell me not to worry about my luggage when I went exploring.

Rider House:

most of all I have slept in this type of accommodation. (Unfortunately, they only in Hokkaido, which is explained by the fact that these for motorcycle drivers are designed and in Hokkaido after all there are the nicest and most secluded stretches)
you are not only incredibly cheap, I've met more nice and interesting people and it was always a surprise what you would find comfortable. I have often, at first glance does not realized as accommodation, because this is unremarkable, falling-looking little house, or has acted in the other case, a railroad car. However, there were
my personal favorites, despite missing or broken shower. A combine was usually nearby, so I could also provide them with food.

Internet Cafe: wanted to hit

Once, I killed two birds with a cheap cover, I avoided this sleep. For not very cuddly, but I found it expedient. You can rent a cabin at a special rate for eight hours and go in this time on the Internet or just sleep. Unfortunately, the partitions are only a visual barrier. They kept me from noise, however, and so I woke up and, as a man next to me started to snore loudly ...
But one must operate on Getraenkeautomaten free, sometimes there are also machines for ramen and corn soup.
The cabin, however, was pretty tight and I was glad to have grown not particularly high, otherwise I would have to roll me badly.

Other:

On my night in the park of Wakkanai I think was not so much back, but it has probably the sake of completeness are not mentioned yet ... Could
From romantic overnight under the stars, but here is no question, because it was terribly cold, I of course had no fire and there was my only protection from said Klettergeruest under which I had rolled out my sleeping bag. I left my bike loaded to be able to get out in an emergency. For a photo, it was too dark and the morning I'm honest only said it to disappear as fast as possible ... But I am determined anything in this nature unless absolutely necessary, his (if I am bankrupt, or should sit somewhere in the boonies!)
The night the ship was not relaxing by the variety ... Also, because the light all the time about anblieb. So I tied my one of my towels to her head and rolled me up on my bed to the wall. I had left my bags on my bike, which was moored in the ship's hull and brought only the essentials in the common bedroom.

I hope I have not forgotten anything and it would be interesting for me, what do you prefer to be as you would if you were in my place. :) A new experience will
I post here with credit.

summer in the city - Tokyo

Once out of my work plans for the capital was unfortunately nothing now and I was damned for doing nothing (I poor!), But I still wanted to stay a little giant in this city, I decided to find some new friends in the area.
My only previous contact was made Masashi, a Japanese friend who was already several times been in Stuttgart on business. However, he was very busy at present and had no time for me.

So I wrote about "Couch Surfing" (a global internet platform for travelers, on the one free living for one night and find nice people and sleeps) offer a few people can, it's also living in Musashino.
way I came and Lotti with the funny Taiwanese Andy in contact with whom we were able to meet a few times. As luck would have it, he would in the spring to Taiwan zuruckkehren and invited me, therefore, to visit him there when I was over in April with the Fahere of Okinawa. (May was now so have liked me to arrange a return flight - her friend works in a travel agency in Taipei and could get a good price out to beat but I have to fly over Hong Kong and London, but whatever.)

with Andy, we visited one evening a cozy jazz bar in which the Musicians finally came even to us, and thanked for it that foreigners had zugehoert them. Until then, I had not particularly liked jazz really, but I enjoyed this performance very well.

Another time we plunged into the thick of an incredible summer fireworks. That was an exciting experience. Half of all Japanese came in a kimono or yukata, it had spread everywhere on the floor her blue plastic sheeting, held a picnic and enjoy themselves, while around us painted the rocket gigantic colorful feuerspruehende flowers, smiley faces and butterflies to the sky and everything from atmospheric music was greeted.
Andy told me that over 40,000 fireworks were - and the show lasted about two and a half hours ...

had now sent me my parents my big backpack, because with the wheel, without Vordergepaecktraeger travel on I could not. So I pushed
it one last time on Japanese soil to the post office, packed it there in his pocket and gave it up. A couple of months it would be on the road to do his own adventure ...

Angelotti began as vacation, we would also make us Buecherreiausweise, for the great library in Mitaka, which I also own many times, ran around for days to spend there, sitting and reading.
Because, I have not yet mentioned, but important: IT WAS HOT!
not the pleasant heat of a light Summer. Stuffy and the air was oppressive. They had almost the feeling, geometry would no oxygen present, the thinking was a bit heavy and the sweat was running for no reason all day. At night, it was not better. Even without a blanket, and despite open Balkontuer it was too hot, even if now and then a little breeze relief abolished, I slept badly and woke up in the morning, recovering slightly.

It just was not pleasant.

I like summer, but only if they somehow escape from the heat can - in a cold store or in the shade. But here not even offered this protection. There was indeed unsonnig, but it still felt like a sauna.
brought relief, therefore only the air conditioning. And because Lotti indeed one possessed, we never used it due to cost but escaped, I was just in the library and spent heavenly schwitzfreie hours, while I devoured a large part of the English Department. (Angelotti's personal book collection was small, I have long since fallen victim to)

Angelotti During vacation we took, of course, other things. We visited the Tokyo Tower and other attractions were walking through Shibuya, ate ice cream in Harajuku and witnessed the people. Since there was always something to laugh because it was just anscheinden fashion, to show his underwear, belt or waived by wearing very short skirts.

As Claus came with his girlfriend to Tokyo, we met in Asakusa - the temple district and walked through Ueno. It was nice to see him again, and we had a great time. Possibly he does in his next vacation to Okinawa and we can see there again before I leave Japan.
Even my sister in law went for their holidays with friends straight from Japan and so we also managed to meet us in a day. It was like a little piece of home. I enjoyed it very much. Together we went to the Governement-building, from the top you have a great view over Tokyo and went to a cheesy romantic waterfront precinct.

In my last week I managed it also gets me for the big Masashi to arrange Samba Festival, which takes place every year. It was a huge parade with great music, cars and many elaborate costumes. The men especially liked the numerous ladies in bikinis and feathers. (Unfortunately, a lady stood before me, the very strong smell of wet cat, which in addition to me, my aching feet a bit distracted)

And of course I was at Fuji!
It was now for two years, my wish and that is why I had placed my visit to the Lotti in August. The climbing season is in fact the end of August already over and the power stations have closed ...
the rise I planned for a Monday, for then were perhaps not as many people on the go. Sun took I got the Abendbus and nine at the foot of the mountain (which is after all, already at 1,700 meters) to. I had held that for a nocturnal ascent, because I really wanted to see the sunrise from the summit!

knew from my experience, I Alps, that one should first akklimatiesiern something before you ascend.
But to me it went really well and the wait to me, more like Zeitverschwenung. For distraction, there were only a few souvenir shops that offered the usual kitsch for tourists. At least I could still buy a bottle of water that I have in my bag (in the absence of a backpack) to the winter clothes and stuffed biscuits. I was not sure whether I really need cap, scarf, jacket and gloves would. The bag was stuffed very full, but I had won it decided to lug all that stuff because I hate to feel cold.

When I went back out after (it was stockduster and all had their little head lights in operation), I grabbed a few words of German. I thought I would have interrogated and was therefore available. But it was definitely my first language and when I did find the people who talked to her, I saw that this was a man with his son. I pushed me around a little in the vicinity and when the opportunity seemed cheap, I spoke to the man.

His name was Reinhold had here and in Japan a branch company. His son had just be in the bag and Abi came to visit him.
Reinhold came from Munich and we were a bit into the conversation about the city and what he worked there as. He was very funny and loved to laugh and told me that he had already twice been on the Fuji.
This experience impressed me so I asked if I would like to join them for the beginning, because I had no idea where the path began ... (It had had no signs, and despite the full moon so dark you could see only three yards.

Luckily both do not mind and we were on our way. Reinhold seemed nothing of acclimatization to hold and I was also prefer it that way. I had a little concern, not to reach the summit in time.
The first vertical meters that were very human. It worked easily and in light of three headlights could light up a good part of the road.
But then we came to a point where you could look up to the summit and I did not know quite how we should deal with ever until sunrise. It seemed pretty far!
But now there was no turning back. The road was too narrow, as can two people that would have vorbeizwaengen each other and therefore you are forced to go ever further, even if you would like to prefer to turn back.
The actual amount was indeed shocked me a little reversed, but was the last thing I wanted now. It was pleasant in the dark to run and there were some nasty places, would be in the sun and heat has become very difficult.
at the first hut, after about two hours, we bought only refuel us each a chocolate bar to forces, we indulged in a few minutes rest and then it went on. It was almost monotonous. Care was only the next step. A few times you had to scramble to rule, because the road was only rock. A walking stick, as it makes lots with him and who had been in the valley can buy to have it provided at each station for 200 yen with a variety of stamps would be here more than a hindrance have been where you needed but both hands in order to move to the top ...

So it went on. But little by little it was possible, encouraging progress seen when Spaeth down the slope.
meanders below us on the path of hundreds of small lights up the mountain. Like a pearl necklace from fireflies looked the many climbers. Reinhold
now urged to hurry. Soon would the people who had slept in the huts on the mountain break, to see the sunrise. If we came into this jam, where everything just went ahead haltingly, we would have a good chance to miss him.

why we put a tooth and wheeze were fast on. In one of the last huts we enjoyed a short rest anyway and drank noodle soup. Then it went on. Breaks were now uncomfortable, because T-shirt and sweatshirt were long ago wet with sweat and once you stopped it quickly became cold. My winter clothes I had long since grown.


After six hours we reached the summit.

We had not come in the jam and still hangs out here already a lot of people of all ages. The Getraenkeautomat was empty, but we managed to get hold off, despite initial skepticism, not a great vantage point in the front row on the ridge
The Gluehwuermchenkette crack, but compressed to the center of the mountain, yet. Meanwhile, even a few police officers governed by their red Leuchtstaeben traffic. (Together with the over-cautious Japanese, rattling inhaled oxygen at every turn, had a little bit of the feeling of being caught in the middle of shooting for the latest Star Wars episode)
Then we waited. It was half past three and the sun would only rise to five. Not even a glimmer on the horizon was visible.

It was very cold. I was happy about my jacket and the other stuff, but it was not enough to fully protect me. The wet clothes I was wearing underneath, seemed all the warmth dismissed.

slowly brightened the sky, the star faded glory about us, and the lights of the big city in the valley and the people were lively around us.
Some, like caterpillars were wrapped cocoon-like in their rescue blankets on the floor and tried to sleep, are excited tired and peered hopefully towards the horizon, which was now under a thick cloud cover.

further waiting. The time seemed very long. Despite the thickest gloves and socks, which I have owned my clammy fingers and toes. At least I did not have to make do with the cold floor, but could sit on a log that lay on the ridge in front of the barrier.

finally took the sky an azure color, and over the cloud cover became an ever more intense orange that went over slowly to yellow.
will hear first chance.
the sun!

But not in their usual glittering splendor, but initially only an orange-red straw that under the clouds hung like a bubble rose up slowly.
then climbed the drops the clouds.
It seemed to be warmer than we achieved the first beam. Still, it did not hurt to look into the sun because the light was still flat. So it was nice to score as many photos - in my case, perhaps too many, because after a few minutes, the battery of my camera is empty.

We enjoyed about a half hour of this little miracle of the longed-for warmth and then invited me Reinhold and his son on a hot miso soup and an even hotter tea in one of the huts at the summit, which had been opened. To this end, we were able still stiff fingers on a small warmer dying fire.
important Gradually the cold and the tiredness we were sluggish.

We gathered up again and went on but then look down to the crater around, but he was still under the ice and was more or less unspectacular.

At six, we began the descent.
And he was much more strenuous than the climb, although it lasted only three and a half hours.
because the road was very steep and covered with a thick layer of mud and loose boulders, which one always brought back to the sliding and often basis.
After an hour already sore knees and calves. You could see clearly that the could not really be healthy. However
held by us. Of course. What was left for other choice?
read some point and the slope gradually we came to the place where were identical ascent and descent. Here it was pleasant to walk.

At half past nine we were back in the valley, where now a lot of people cavorting. Some in euphoric mood, with fresh courage and rocking step, others completely whacked on the floor. We are joined to the wheel and to us first served extensively on the Getraenkeautomaten.
adopted Shortly thereafter, father and son. Reinhold gave me his email address but that he would send me the photos he did, because my camera had given up their mind yet.
Since I was completely satisfied with the experience and adopted the two warmly.

I had quite a while waiting for my bus, but this time in the warmth.
the muscles in the legs but I was going after a few days, although I still went bravely to the library every day to speed up the healing process.

The last day was standing in front of the door and I was able to put even one final appointment with a Japanese woman from Couch Surfing, Lotti with which we hope can meet again, for she was really a very lovely woman.

then broke in the morning and I click. With the train to Nagano,
This time a little more relaxed, only with a backpack ...

Special: The Japanese bureaucracy

Or: Why simple is the most elaborate about?

If you like to laugh about the incompetence of authorities, then this story is just right for you. If ye rather upset about it, you should not read it better. :)

Actually I wanted to use the time in Tokyo to my travel fund and there to supplement some temporary work. Lotti had to work so well - she's since July for a year in Japan and work here as an English teacher's assistant at an international school - and I did not want to be alone all day.
conscientious as I am sometimes wish I am so very soon take care about the bureaucratic, so I could start work quickly.

To this end, one must first register in the city and a so-called "alien registration card" request. This is a kind of identity card for foreigners, even if it sounds more like a residence permit for Martians.

She sees the way, from:
(even if most of the interesting characters I had to because of privacy repainting)

Conveniently, Lotti was already again in Musashino City Hall over to their own ar-card pick. So I could join me simply because I did not know where it was.
And thus began all the trouble ... Applying for

went quickly, and made a few problems. One of the ladies were very English well and there were no misunderstandings.
Only when it came to health insurance, it was complicated. As such, I did not mind, although I was surprised a little because I had already completed a health insurance in Germany and in the other conditions for the approval of the visa was. (Later I learned at the German Embassy, the latter is not recognized in Japan - there may even ask the question of the meaning)

However, what if it was the duty again, as I was assured, it probably had no sense to resist, because even if something is illogical to learn Japanese at an early age to accept anything for granted and to ask any questions. (Also seemed to me an additional protection not to be so stupid, because the doctor so I would only have to pay 30 percent of the costs and such things can indeed be expensive. So much money I had not saved again now, as I could advance without problems ...) Anyway, I went
poor staff determined thoroughly on my nerves because I put a lot of questions and the more answers I got, the more uncosted I felt the whole thing.

It behaved as follows namely:
Unlike in Germany, pays you the money this month for his insurance to the city where you live. (It will not be drawn from the account, but you must deposit it in the mail) if you moves now, you have to change so in the old town off and log into the new, and his address at the post office. Until now all the documents to the administration of the city of the new residence are about gone and the new address is registered, can take several weeks.

But as was feasible for someone who moved almost every few weeks and his whereabouts not to one of the sites came back - someone like me?
In my case it made all the Logging on and off makes no sense, I thought. Could not I just pay the full annual amount at a time to just a city?
But no! That would be impossible, I was immediately rebuked.
I wanted to let go not, for if I simply do not stay for several weeks, with a host family (which was certainly possible, though many WWOOFers wanted to work there), I should then please wait for the decision of the city, go to then send it to us and to be able to pay the monthly amount ?
So if this is simply not possible once was, what would happen then?

"You will pay!" Was the factual answer, just as the Japanese bureaucracy would have the power to set itself the laws of physics cease to apply!

What should we respond? I just stared blankly back.

went off in this manner it further. Almost four hours long! (Overall, I spent during my time in Tokyo about ten hours there)

And the end of the story was still that I had no choice but to bow to me, this absurdity ... So I went back to
one day because I simply do not accept this fate could and would. Especially since I Lotti and Jacki (which I had now taken again) both asserted that they got pressed on any extra insurance. Why did not I? (. Even that turned out later, they were insured through their employers but by the time I did not)

But all the effort and time sacrificed - not to mention my nerves - was in vain. It stuck!
I was even, as already mentioned, once driven to the German Embassy, to me there for advice, but after almost three hours waiting made it myself from only with the statement, you know here is not with the Japanese law from (of all ironic, it was a Japanese woman who said this) and I was complacent in the Japanese Embassy in Germany to call if I wanted to have information about it!

War to take that? As a
remained but has no other than to shake his head and laugh out loud.
(I was at that moment but not so much feel like laughing, because I seemed abandoned me with my problem fairly)

When I realize a few days before I left Tokyo, once the City Hall sought out to me correctly (and sarcastic Ton) log off, it almost looked as if the matter still to clear up for good.

I was told I could but remain registered at the address in Tokyo, and should just pretend I live there all year and travel around very much.
(I had now also got the insurance decision over 6200 yen, and some good paid the annual fee at the post office. I would have the money I would have on the city paid too much, get back as soon as I would be registered in the new town. But I had them Angelotti, where Japanese bank account, because I had not a account here.)

should But now I am not re-register, and only when I completely dungeons Japan, my ar-card and insurance card send back to Musashino.

Why not the same so I thought to myself in high spirits, because I finally seemed to come against anyone.
The whole trip would be very ugly with all the changes of registrations and controls become, though I wanted to once a year and know nothing of such matters feel free ...

And all because of this stupid passport, which I had not even been useful, because I had not found a job. Although I was allowed a day job in a restaurant, but only a month's stay was too short to all potential employers. Of course I had to

seek Angelotti has yet understood that I can remain living at their address. And that caused me some concern.
This, however, was not at my girlfriend, she would not have objected, but only a day had been her boss from a long vacation came back and Lotti's landlady had immediately complained to her about it, that would now registered two in a single apartment and the Japan is against the law!
Unfortunately, it turned out, in fact, that the issue would not be me and I would have to sign out when leaving Tokyo.

The ladies in the town hall were oppressed, whether this information. Understandable, they had so busy for hours with my case ...

And so I just hoped I could keep maybe the address of my new host family in Nagano.

When I was a few days in the Municipality of Haramura, but everything was slightly different.
are seemingly everywhere in Japan, other laws, because they said it would be against the law to keep an address and I would have to follow the rules.

Well great. Then went the whole process starts over again ...
I was just able to stop them hit my head firmly on the table.

In a time long discussion but I was really tired! And they absolutely refused to call in Musashino. It would have looked at them can explain everything much better and faster ...

But after all the employees completed all formalities, while I (again some Waited for hours). Finally, I got my updated ar-card induced flow the decision about a further annual fee (this time comically 6300 yen) and my new insurance card.
While I waited, I had to continue talking to one of the ladies and she said she did not understand the rules in Musashino City Hall, because I would have to unsubscribe to its knowledge, nor give back my badge when I left Japan.
But where was the problem then? Why should I expose myself to all that again, if it in fact was not important that I am in the city government where I live or logged off them returned the card?

Final structure now I lost patience and decided, although a very last time to pay the insurance on Haramura where I lived so now official, me but then again not to care about this garbage from him anyway no one seemed to have a clue!
The address of my new family I was allowed to retain (already had their permission), I had my new insurance card (which I'll probably never would anyway) and should something happen to me, I had just happen to travel. The card was everywhere, which had assured me my host father Haseyan.

So why even think about this further? Anyway I was probably the only one who had ever dealt seriously with it. All others, the much traveled during their year abroad, had simply never intended to register ... If only I had never looked for work in Tokyo!

My big concern when I say "the rules" is not followed, had anyway been that they send me back to my departure to the city would, in the I had not logged out properly accounted. It was capable of quite the stubborn officials ...

Since this now seems it was not necessary, there was no reason to pull off the whole procedure more times! (Especially since I did not have as much money in every city where I was staying longer time to pay the annual fee. Even if I get the money back in Germany by Lotti surely would)

From now on I'm so free again. Or at least it's me shooting ...

I am a rebel of the Japanese bureaucracy!
(Whether I can then again in their country? XD)
