The second day was dedicated to shopping on the one hand, on the other to visiting Kamakura and Enoshima outside of Tokyo.

J16 #01: Ueno, Shinjuku and Chihayafuru
To quickly continue where I left of last time, I looked for and found my Airbnb near the market Ameyoko. The small flat is located in the 8th floor and contained the basic amenities. Just depositing my luggage and picking up my rental WiFi router I went on to explore the neighborhood.

Milano
Der Sommer neigt sich dem Ende zu, alle Prüfungen sind abgelegt und es winken die verdienten zwei Wochen Ferien vor Beginn des nächsten Semesters. Ich entschied mich nochmal das schöne Mailand im Norden Italiens zu besuchen, da es gut aus der Schweiz zu erreichen und wegen der Expo besonders besuchenswert ist.
Expo Milano 2015
From one Expo to the next. Just two weeks ago I visited the Japan Expo in Paris for the third time. Now, me and friends went to Italy to take a peek at the World Expo in Milan.
Visiting the Expo was vaguely planned for quite some time now, but just recently a concrete day came into sight when a friend of mine suggested that we should go and see the Japan day in mid July. In fact, every participating country has one day for presenting itself on the whole venue area. This would include special events and guests. So we decided, to visit the Expo on that specific Saturday.
Prag
Nach Ostern hatte ich eine Woche Urlaub, die ich für eine kleine Reise innerhalb Europas nutzen wollte. Nach einiger Überlegung entschlossen sich Miriam und ich schliesslich für die tschechische Hauptstadt Prag. Ganze drei Tage verbrachten wir zusammen in dieser geschichtsträchtigen Stadt.
Zermatt short film
When I was skiing in Zermatt in March I also filmed a bit here and there. I had the idea in mind to make a short film out of it and here it is. Enjoy my very first short film!
Skiurlaub in Zermatt
Letztes Wochenende verbrachte ich im schönen Zermatt. Zwei Tage Skiurlaub mitten im Semester, das geht nur in der Schweiz.
Fespo 2015
Today I visited the travel fair Fespo in Zürich. Travel agencies, flight companies and local representatives from every part of the world were present, the focus lying on Croatia which was the country of honour.
Welcome to Akihabara / 秋葉原
Many people know me for my affinity to Japan, especially to the modern pop-culture including anime. Still, I rarely write about this topic. This article is devoted to everyone who loves Akihabara, the capital of the subculture, or wants to know more about it.
Tokyo for busy people
While I already returned to Switzerland safely, I have a bit of a backlog about my last days in Tokyo. Read this article as a two day guide (three days with the last one) to Tokyo for those with little time.
