Today I went sightseeing in Zurich.

My friend,Beat had to go work, so I went sightseeing by myself.



Because I slept too long, it was about mid-afternoon when I arrived at the mainstation.

At first, I met Beat to eat lunch together. He invited one girl of his friends to eat together.

I ate one curry & rice and salad. It cost 2,364 yen(=26 dollar). expensive...



After lunch I started sightseeig. I planed to go to Switzerland museum to get to know well about

Switzerland. However, Once I realized how beautiful and clean this city was, I decided to walk

around mainstreets at first.



This city is really beautiful and clean :D It is beyond my expectation.

Moreover buildings are charming and every narrow streets have a nice atmosphere.

How splendid Zurich is is beyond my description.

Zurich became one of my favorite cities.



While walking, I found one strange shop. It seemed to be a hair salon, but I stayed in front of

that shop to make sure what it was. when peeping inside,I was invited by an owner to come inside.

They were drinking and he gave me one bottle of beer :D

It is a hair salon, but there are a lot of stuffs unrelated to his business lol.

I spent a really nice time there :D



One more thing I want to write about is commodity cost.

It is more expensive than I expected.


One bottle of Pepsi costs 310 yen = 3.4 dollar = 2.3 Euro

One small coffee at sturbacks costs 390yen = 4.3 dollar = 2.9 Euro

One hamburger at McDonald costs 220 yen = 2.5 dollar = 1.7 Euro

One BIGMAC set at McDolnald costs 1000 yen = 11 dollar = 7.5 Euro

How do you think about it?


I worry about if Japanese economy has already entered into the phase of defletion.

Considering about the strength of Japanese potential economy, I feel that the commodity cost in

Japan is too cheap.



Tomorrow morning I will leave here for Venezia, where I will stay 3 nights.

My health is not so good, so I decided to stay relaxed there :D

I am really satisfied with my stay in Zurich.

Thank you, Beat and his parents :D

Now I'm in Munchen. This is my last night here.

Munchen is much colder than I expected and now I'm getting cold...



During staying here, I have heard the word of ''Bavarian'' from my friend,Kathirina.

The people living around Munchen are called this word.

As far as I see her, she is really proud of being Bavarian.

She told me ''if you think that we Bavarian are the same with the people living in other parts in

Germany, it is like, you think that Japan is the same with China.''

I somewhat understood how she thinks of herself from this statement.



I think Bavarian cuisine is tend to be served a lot and tastes stronger than Japanese cuisine.

I haven't eaten many sousages unlike your expectation.


I got a lot of impressions from her and this town, and I want to write a lot about them, but I'm t

oo tired to write.

This is pictures in Germany.

I hope you will understand how I spent nice time here.

Thank you, Kathirina and her family and Lisamaria :D


I didn´t know that it was sooo cold in Berlin...


I didn´t have enough egergy to enjoy sightseeing because of bad weather and tiredness.


I went to see Gedenkstätte und Museum Sachsenhausen(this is like "auschwitz concentration camp") ,Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche and Brandenburger Tor.

Sightseeing related to wars makes you feel tired, which cannnot be helped...


According to my first impression, Berlin is like a modern city. So most of buildings are modern except for historical building.


I will take a train for Munichen a quarter later. I´m looking forward to meet one of my friends there :D

I hope I can sleep well in a sleep-train.
