German and what?

I have had several people poking me because the German team lost in the Semi-finals. Wasn't it the same with the World-Cup? The Germans play great all the way, just that they fail when it counts. A bit like erectile dysfunction, no? All good until the moment when it get's really exciting.

Actually, I haven't see a single minute of the championship. Who wants to get up at 2 in the morning to get depressed?

Man! Hole

What I liked most about our Japan trip (Besides the obvious: it being a vacation and spending time with the better half??)? Well, interestingly I think it were the manholes in different cities, accessing the sewege systems. Every city seems to have a different, unique one. Which makes it exciting to sometimes look down as well. here the one from Osaka.

Touristas

A few days too late for Cherry Blossom, we have to make do with other blossom. This is a picture taken in Osaka on our arrival day (Sunday 27th). We are having a blast of a time, ordering food from vending machines, exploring local landscapes, feeding deer and figuring out the subway systems.

We stayed in a "temple lodging". Great surrounding up in Koyasan. The "hotel" was also great, but we did not like the vegetarion only food. There is a lot one can do with just veggies, but this one didn't work for us.

Later I will try the cream against "horny feet"...
