- The Rising sun - Inspirational peopleI slept rather a little longer than I had planned, my bodily functions still completely confused; I should imagine that awakening from a coma is similar to how I felt right now.

- The Rising sun - First steps, first impressionsMy views on Japan are largely shaped by three things. Firstly, I have a surprising fascination with the Samurai. Although a shame, I do not expect to see people wielding swords whilst roaming around Tokyo, nor do I expect Posted by Nonostante in Ich kriege so eine Krawatte | May 15, 2023
- The Rising sun - Out the doorWhilst I have been to the Far East before, this newest adventure seems different.
