While I was still travelling through Australia with my girlfriend in November 2009, she told me we would visit an amusement park in Japan. I had immediately started to imagine how it would look like, what kind of people I would see, which attractions I would try.

I don’t know much about theme parks and you might find me in one of them once a year, walking around. So, being a theme-park-chicken I knew this was it! My chance to become a real man!

Being visitor in another country gives us the possibility to learn a lot about another culture, even when you are shopping!

Buying stuff was one of my favourite activities while in Japan. Why this? Well, it’s not that I had much money to spend but I was able to learn more about this fascinating country and sometimes even about it’s way to think.

Being guest at my girlfriends parents’ gave me the possibility to learn a bit more about Japanese culture. Daily routines can be surprisingly different when in a different country, especially in Japan. Ever wondered if taking a bath is always the same in the whole world? Well, not in Japan.
