Ouf, me voici enfin "arrivée" au Japon (dans les posts ! en réalité j'y suis depuis 1 mois). Je rejoins donc le temps de la narration du dernier post avec Milena et Elodie, à défaut de rejoindreRead more
Apparemment, à Paris aussi, c'est la galère au consulat de Russie... Je suis désolée que ça ait capoté, j'adorais le plan!
Dommage j’espere que tu as pu annuler tous tes billets deja pris La consolation ... pour nous est que du coup tu rentres plutôt en France 🥰
@Marie, ah je ne savais pas que cetait aussi compliqué depuis la France. En tous cas, hors sujet visa, on a trouvé leur réseau d'espionnage dans le 74 ! @ML : pas pu pendant 15 jours en tous cas, sans téléphone...
After a relaxing slow start, including our infamous convenience store breakfast, we headed to Kyoto Station for a Shinkansen to Osaka. The trip took a whole 13 minutes. When we arrived we dropped ourRead more
Both Nizomi and Hikari follow that route and take the same amount of time on that section of track 😊
There were so many people walking around with actual mugs so of course I had to find out where they were all coming from
This resulted in me getting my own cup of red wine in a mug. Let's say it'sRead more
We all agreed that Dotonburi was like Osaka's New York Times Square, or Tokyo's Shinjuku. It was full of neon lights. According to a magazine article, Osaka is Japan's kitchen, and one must try to eatRead more

Was first built in 1580s, but was destroyed within a few years. Rebuilt in 1620s, then got struck by lightning and burned down in 1665. Finally, it was restored in 1931. It's a wonder it's one of theRead more
C'est avec plaisir (et surprise) que nous avons passé les deux derniers jours à Osaka, ancienne capitale du Japon et troisième ville du pays. Premier apperçu de la culture nipponne, Osaka nous enRead more
Japan in all it’s glory and contradictions! Class and ... not class ... peaceful and noisy. And the food ... the fooooood ... I’m dreaming of Japan. Enjoy it as much as you can, so happy to see you discovering so much!
Ça a l'air joli. La croix gammée n'en est pas une, c'est une svastika un des symboles du bouddhisme, repris par les nazis et d'ailleurs tournée dans l'autre sens. On en voit énormément en Inde également
