I'm sorry for the missing updates in the past months, but my last Fb-less friends have joined Facebook and I don't feel like updating this Blog anymore.
Since the main purpose for this blog was to stay in touch with my friends in Europe, I feel it's time to say goodybe to this public blog.

                                                                                         




Thank you so much for all your comments! We had a wonderful wedding.

 

One week after Christmas we will have our wedding party in Germany. I'm really looking forward to spend Christmas&New Year at home...I don't like the Japanese Christmas. It's missing the sweet smell of Christmas markets and silent nights... :)

Anyway, this will be my last entry at this blog for a while. I'm thankful for all the followers&all your comments.
I'm thinking to open up a new, not public blog in German, writing much more about my life here. This blog will require a profile and my acceptance to follow, but this would be a possibilty to stay in touch . I'm not sure when the new blog will be online, but I'll make an update here.

I wish you a wonderful Christmas season :)

This will be my last post before our wedding party :)
We are both looking forward to it a lot. It was a hard time to prepare everything&finally we can enjoy our moment.

Since our parents will meet for the first time, it'll be a meeting of two different cultures, too. Of course we are a little bit worried about it, but we all hope that music, a nice dinner&fun can cross borders and help to understand each other even without words.

I will write a little bit about it next week :)
And thanks to those who wrote E-Mails to me. I know I was a little bit busy the past three months, but I'm really looking forward to meet you very soon. Blogger gave me a lot of new friends 

~ thank you for following me!

(Ganz lieben Dank für die ganzen Mails...ich freu mich schon einige von euch auf der Feier in Deutschland dann wiederzusehen...sind ja nur noch 3 Monate ^^ Das wird dann ne richtig heiße Nacht....XD)

One week until our wedding party and only four days until my parents will arrive in Tokyo...

Happily I have a short holiday starting from Friday...still plenty of things to do. October will be much more relaxing :)

♥

Starting from this week I have another class on Wednesday. My work and private life is pretty packed these days, so I'm sorry for the late updates...

After our wedding party we will have about two hours left until the last train&so we made a reservation in a nice bar close to the hotel. We will make a small "afterparty", change our outfits into a less glamarous suit&dress and just hang out with our friends :)

Here are some photos of the last two weeks. Nothing special though, since we mostly spent time in Odaiba,  planning the wedding stuff&trying to look like a well-organized couple who has a plan to deal with all the stuff...(fail XD)
We are getting more and more excited about everything...
My parents will come to Japan for one week&I'm looking forward to spend time with them.

Yoko's boyfriend is here for summer break&we had a nice karaoke day ~

XD  That face XD

Goodbye summer ~ (even though it'll be still hot until October I think ...)
My holiday has ended today and starting from tomorrow my work will start again. Many new students will join, the afternoon classes will change...but I'm looking forward to it!
It has been a calm&relaxing holiday...not many highlights, but I had some nice days.

Steffi is finally coming back to Japan tomorrow, too :) Happy!

Here are some photos of our trip to Hakone&the Hanabi in front of our house.
We started in the early morning and ended up in a big traffic jam, which was the most annoying part of the trip. The weather changed around 2pm and it became very foggy, but we still had a great time.  We will come back in autumn since it's the best season for a trip to Hakone.

I'm a huge fan of The Little Prince and so we visited the museum, which is very close to Hakone.
A little bit European feeling...nice!

Break Time!

Happy Peko ~

Peko's face when we were buying bread...always hungry ^^"

4 hours walking...Peko's limit...

HUGE trees...

Dinner time at one of the most famous Italian restaurants in the area...

Hungy Yoshi... ;)

Hanabi-Time! Every year in the end of August there is a huge firework in front of our house. We got the best seats due to Yoshi's fighting spirit XD
 About 6000 people came to our neighbourhood and changed our calm place into a big party ~ it was the 80th birthday of Setagaya (our city district)& the firework was really big. One hour with live music.

Eh...yes... :)

I ordered the wedding dress for the party in Germany...hope it will arrive soon ~ ^.^
