Japan everywhere...

We visited some friends in Lüneburg last weekend. Lüneburg is in the nothern part of Germany, half an hour by train south of Hamburg and look what I saw there....


Yeah, I know after all 8,917 km to Noruto it is a long way... :)

He is gone!!!

Walking downtown I was always passing a house with a statue outside, a knight, I think and I really liked him.
But suddenly he was gone and today even the whole house disappeared !!!

From Hanjo to Carmen

wow, another month passed by and my life has been full of love, travel, fun and meeting with friends..
.. well I did not write about that amazing piece of opera we saw at the Ruhrtriennale any more due to time lack. Hanjo was great, so great and different to everything I saw before. I really liked it. The clash of eastern Opera with western quite touched me. I am still thinking about the statement, that sometimes it is the state of waiting which makes the difference not the end of waiting.... Godot is greeting ... maybe I saw something looking back in my life.... life... my life is so amazing... last week I had the pleasure to meet a precious friend of mine I have not seen for nine years. Nine years... we are getting old....  It was so incredible to see him again. I feel such a great respect for him, I always did. He is simply great, calm and reliable, having so much dignity and proud. One day he will be a general. Back in my other life he saved me, saved me from so much and now in his presence I feel so great. We walked down the streets of Cologne together for some time smiling passing by so many restaurants where we wanted to eat but could not enter simply because it was so great to walk together, smiling at each other in silence. I know most of you would say - that's crazy but I felt so happy, so unbelievable happy. And he felt the same. Gosh R. is getting jealous for sure....
So now he will stay in Germany for some months and I longing to see him again and show him Germany and talk about life how is changed since our time in China.

I have to tell you about the amazing meeting with my friends from Berlin, who came over for some days and their daughters who really brighten up my days... well being an aunt is really fun...

Amazing buffet we had here...

competition... showing teeth how a monster does look like best :)

And we went on a  trip to Hamburg.... great city with no sun...

So much to tell you, well tomorrow I will go to see Carmen at the opera house in Duisburg with some friends.... another tragic love story...
