Travel

Well. After my three-month stay at the Kanazawa University it happened: I could enjoy my holiday! "Enjoy" is maybe the wrong word - I travelled a lot - but that was really cool! Since I hadn't learned Japanese, I had to do this during my travel. And that was ok! At the beginning, I had some problems, but I realized that the Japanese people tried to help in any way when I tried to speak Japanese. Sometimes, they answered in English or even in German! But what should I do when I was welcomed at the door of the ticket counter by "Please come in, if you speak a little bit Japanese."? I thought "a little bit - ok, no problem". And I got the ticket - after some minutes. But after all, the language problems could be managed.
But let's start at the beginning. Below, you can see the days and places I visited. If you look at a map of Japan you will see that I travelled a lot (considering the kilometres).
