... Gives the enchanting Japan anyway, even more magic. Right now just is Friday ~ So much too early to have to write an entry ... but I just start ever at ;-)
I on Monday - Sports Day, a holiday - 've spent back into healthy, I can not tell about it so much. I guess the facts about my sleep patterns as rather uninteresting and inappropriate for this blog.
The Tuesday is unfortunately not much here ... school ... I had the first time my kanji course. Not so exciting ... but I'm learning a lot and to apply myself so that I may soon switch to the higher rate.
teaching is not really a fascinating subject. At least when it comes to learning the Japanese language. Where I would add that I am now quite fond of my teachers have won. On Wednesday I had but next to my language learning another lesson.
I was in a taiko course! The school had unmount as advertising, that any individual can attend free of charge. Have the chance I with one of my classmates used the same time!
But first to the instrument. When Taiko is the Japanese drum. For all know very thirsty here's a link to the Wikipedia entry. There is all well explained. (de.wikipedia.org / wiki / Taiko )
short for today's usage: The taiko playing in theaters, festivals and a new ... "concert attraction," a major role. Maybe even one or another heard of "Yamata" "The Drummers of Japan" or similar groups heard the tour through the world and deliver to an audience a good show and a lot of rhythm.
With such a class I was so ... and I have to admit ... I am slow when it comes to rhythm work. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience. I've heard this before taiko. But only one. On a DVD.
It is something completely different and unique if one may feel a taiko. The booming what you feel around them.
We were in the price as around 50 people. There were three different types of drums and everything was arranged in several rows of circular. In the middle was the "Vortrommlerin. We were also made equal to small drums and should simply join. Through the ranks of two or three ladies are scurrying have helped you when you as I am a little slow in picking up the rhythm was. But that was all too damn fast!
In between, there's always short break, where the pros are the taiko to practice for a gig (I think ...) which was great! You can feel the vibrations.
I must confess ... I suffers just a lack of words and phrases. I think the Taiko is such a thing is that you should really enjoy yourself. Not necessarily play ... but see, hear and feel.
had passed on the way I played on as a taiko. was
Even more surprisingly, it's music on Thursday evening. I was asked by my host sister and friend if I do not want to go to the Matsuri. A Matsuri is a festival, similar to the small exhibition only without all the rides. The whole thing also was held for the goddess of the nearby shrine. In what area the very same deity is now working, looking, I am afraid not.
addition to a stage with music and stalls lining of games (can throwing, shooting, fishing, gold fish, turtles start catching balls out of the water, ring toss, draw lots), there were scary many eating stalls!
I also like the chance and tried many Japanese dishes. "Horumon" are intestines with Vegetable stuff - fried. Was not mine ...
"Karaage" small chicken cubes previously rolled in flour and then fried. YUM!
"Mizuame" means "sweet water" and then it is .... Sticky sugar water in thick, rather rigid form. With a bit of fruit drinne ~ I was ... too cute Oo
"Anzuame" plum candy. A sour plum in this sticky sugar water ~ this is so not my thing. Much too acidic> _>
"Kakigoori" crushed ice with syrup of choice on top. I've taken Kalpis. Yummy!
"Jagaimo" potato on Spies. Around the outside had a sweet dough ... a little butter to it too. There was also very delicious ~
Furthermore, it still Takoyaki (octopus balls), bananas with chocolate, strawberry or vanilla glaze, love apples, crepe, cotton candy, fried spaghetti, yakisoba (fried noodles), Okonomiyaki (Omlettähnlich, see another article).
Sorry, no music, but a lot of noise was on Sunday. I've met again with my Japanese. For lunch there was then assembly-line sushi. What was ... ok. For me, raw food is nothing. But it is so delicious sushi tamago (egg) and sushi with vegetables.
Then we first went cramming English. Has lasted. I have prepared too much, but it went quite well.
Because we still had time, we went to Akihabara and have a look around there a little. It was very ... interesting ... but a more detailed report to Akihabara to come. Akihabara is the way the district for electric enthusiasts and manga / anime fans. It's loud! And the whole of Tokyo. From every corner booming music, advertising, calls the seller .... phu ~ I'm glad that everything is quiet in my neighborhood ~
As always, we ate delicious. This time there STEAK! * _ * really incredibly delicious ~ and we have talked a lot ^ _ ^ What's my secret ~
On the way to Akihabara the way, was a drunk next to us ... we have when it came change places. Which is then God stepped out sometime thanks. Except that he then first tumbled against the web. The first stood for several minutes while our wagon (we have already seen directly) was lighter in excitement. An employee then has seen that everything was fine with the man. A bit of excitement for the day. Is said to be healthy -. allegedly
So much for the past week ...
questions due to time not able to answer ~ But next week ^ _ ^
I apologize for the slight delay this entry: 3
Love, Rumi
