From Germany

October 1st, 2004

Some 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.
