From Germany
October 1st, 2004Some notable things:
- cars stop at zebra crossings
- all shop assistants wish “a nice day”
- it rains on most days
- it is 20 degrees colder than Japan
- it is extremely difficult to get decent photo supplies in Niedersachsen (”Lower Saxony”, postcode 3xxxx); mentioning sheet film creates blank gazes
- the photo fair was a bunch of old geezers with mostly Leica and Rollei stuff talking to each other; all I bought was a Polaroid 545 holder at a decent price
- many wind power generators
- beer very tasty!
- many nice cars
Counting the days till our return to Japan, which I started missing a little bit…

I am constantly amazed at how much I miss Japan when I am not there, but when I am there I get very frustrated about cetain attributes.
