Then we went to yet 东大寺 "Toudaiji," look at the 大 仏 "Daibutsu" because we had not done the last time in Nara - which is indeed pretty much the most famous landmark all over Nara. Ah yes, a great Japanese garden, we have also taken a closer!
On 01 September, I sat down with Hiroshi and met two friends about it and we are driven by car again after 神 戸 Kobe, have since eaten a lunch (yummy baguettes), on the road just in Chinatown suuuper delicious cream-filled pastries with parts ate, then went to the famous port, where we stayed until it was dark, and also briefly went on the Ferris wheel there. Finally we're back back down to Osaka and have eaten there in 新世界 "new world" (well-known part of Osaka) for dinner - because it was still a first time for me, we were namely フグ pufferfish ! eat I never thought that I would do that again, but he was actually even quite tasty!
As I was on that evening then the film 映 研 Club, from 01 to 03 Osaka also has made travel, wanted to join, I was then taken over yet. There were five the movie club and have to keep all the "boss" at home stayed because who comes from Osaka.

Then (and again for the first time in Japan) we are in a メイド カフェ Maid Cafe gone where all the waitresses run around in the maid's outfit. Finally we went to was still dark 大阪 城 Osaka Castle and have been sitting there so long and talked to it and see the night lights of the castle was. In the evening there was still famous Osaka 豚まん (FleischTeigtaschen) and then we are back home and have as comfortable a bit drunk and was talked.

That was the end of the first Eiken trip, so I'm back to Yoshi in the evening.

Saturday went there again after 奈良 Nara, where we have looked at a few famous temples, a very famous Mochi-Laden (rice cake) よ もぎ 餅 "yomogi (mugwort) Mochi eaten and been watching how the Mochi stamped is - what I've seen for the first time. Osaka in the evening we still 串カツ "Kushi-Katsu (fried skewers of fish, vegetables, mochi, meat ...) eaten.
On Sunday we were traveling by car to 明石 Akashi (in the prefecture of Hyogo), the largest bridge in the world, the 海峡 大桥 "Kaikyooohashi. Then we looked for a restaurant where you can eat 明石 焼き Akashi-yaki (which I have indeed mentioned before) and then we went to the still 摩耶 山 mountain "Maya", from where again a could enjoy great views. Finally, we were still 寿司 sushi Evening dinner and then have Chiho and Osamu adopted. On the way home, then a highlight - Yoshi goes like so super fast car (in Germany is also driven the Nürburgring) and late evening when there is no one way, then stop once he races a certain distance around the mountains in the vicinity along (which also make other Japanese, so this is less "established"). And since I had done it in Germany is no longer so in time, sometimes go with him Nurburgring, we are just at the evening moved along the mountains - and it was just really cool! With a limit of 30 kmh 110 Things and screeching tires, the mountain has been up and down race was! Was fun, then I felt like after driving in a bad roller coaster. ^ ^ Well, but do not worry, Yoshi goes really sure which one can trust as genuine, otherwise I would like that of course, do not! (And locking the car would have otherwise had also laugh * *) Well in any case pure adrenaline!
On Monday I had somehow the need again to 京都 Kyoto ride - so I'm out then. I have but the day left nice time, I've been in Kyoto anyway the most important views and would then only look at times in the rest (probably most famous) 清水寺 "Kiyomizu-temple, which I had seen even 5 years ago already. Weather was good as always, so it was really nice and this time I then made up for what we did not do last time - namely, the "pure water" because of the source, named after the temple, too is to drink. Then I'm through the souvenir shops, street strolled, still have a few little things bought (and in the famous 八 桥 "Yatsuhashi" (a type of mochi) store as long as I then tried all sorts, until I was sure that I like best (which then of course bought to understand ^ ^). From there it was still some really nice roads that were not so full on, where I most delicious みたらし 団子 "Mitarashidango" (also a I kind Mochi) ever eaten, I've then even the station わらび 餅 "Warabi-mochi" (Three guesses a kind of mochi) bought and eaten dinner with Yoshi. In other words - I liiebe Mochi!
Tuesday was then already the last day in Osaka. I've met with Yasuko, yes I still know from 5 years ago. We were in 难 波 Namba, have since たこ焼き Takoyaki (OktopusTeigbällchen) are eaten by a famous stand, through the shopping streets strolled, were then (I know, again) 寿司 eat sushi and finally I've never known みたらし 小 餅 "Mitarashi-ko-mochi" (you know already, a kind of mochi ...) purchased. Evening to Kansai airport was somehow a bit stressful, I'm good with うち なー タイム Okinawa-time (ie late) come, but the airport had already been completely empty at the time and my luggage to Glue ck also checked. Anna-Lena I was then picked up from the airport and then we do not have those it has brought in Nagoya 赤 福 "Akafuku" (also a kind of mochi ^ ^) eaten.
All in all, the trip was super nice, even if it has taken me money now technically in the end a little bit, but it was really worth it, because I still really a lot of times could see a whole lot delicious jp. Eat (what you get on Okinawa in some cases really bad ...) and could have eaten more times to make some friends!
But it was very hard, because it's just the whole 10 days of super hot was! Every day as about 36 ° C, no rain, no wind ... there's the whole day on the road and walk around outside a lot, of course, extremely (!) Long, and so what I've seen so far also are not so bad!
So, and now I have another 2 weeks in Okinawa, which will be enjoyed fully! was
