Hi!
It's hard to believe it, but I'm still alive and I still have not lost the desire to blog. I'm sorry that I have been so reported not long, but as the title gives it away that I worked for 2 weeks on a farm, and there I was, unfortunately, only limited internet and no wireless. By the time I will report in this same entry.
First, I wanted to but thanks for all the previous comments =) I'm always pleased when I see a new comment. And thanks to all the quiet fellow readers.
Now to the report of the 2 weeks.
The trip to the farm coma I survived quite well. First we went by train from Tokyo to Takao, then to Kofu, and finally to Nirasaki. Overall, the 2-3 hours were driving. I'm on the journey then bought Pocky because this candy on the Internet is highly praised. Well, in my opinion are overvalued the. They taste like perfectly ordinary containing Mikado sticks. In the train to Nirasaki were also a lot of students there and I had to squeeze inside me with my big backpack. There I nearly crushed then ne Japanese, because I could never hold me. Ultimately, however, have survived all those present.
Then I had to take a bus to Shiogawa. So I asked in Japanese people, which bus is the right one, which was also shown me immediately. Unlike Tokyo, the people in the country that is really almost no English. On the bus but then I'm pretty desperate, because everything was only in kanji and I had no idea when is the right stop. In addition, the bus was so extremely long, I was thinking what would be lazy. So I approached a student and vollgejammert total. The poor in hindsight I am extremely sorry. He could not speak English that is gaaar and tried to tell me something. I of course knew nothing. Finally I have it but still managed to Shiogawa. Because I was so exhausted but with the nerves, the schoolboy called me for the farm (my phone had no power in the mountains) and told people that they should pick me up. Otherwise I would in fact have to go even further. So the student was really so nice to me just about saved my life. Otherwise, I would indeed be desperate. My host father took me then that is picked up, along with another German Wwoof, who also just happened on the farm (Greet you, Timo! ^ ^)
living on the farm, the host father (whose name I never found out and got him Only otoosan = father), and Chiharu-san (a woman). Their relationship to each other I've never understood. The host father was older and Chiharu-san end 30, but he was not her father. Maybe uncle? I'll probably never find out. The host father was definitely seeeeeehr nice and has always cooked for everyone. I worked with him most, because he was nice straightforward. Chiharu-san, however, is the busiest person I've ever met. Always on the run and make, it has never give yourself a break. Working with her was always a little stressful. There was also a dog, Ryu-chan. It is not at all educated, barks always walk when they go to eat or just wants attention. Even in the morning she always barked, so they had no opportunity to stay even longer in bed. But I had to anyway every day at 6 clock to get up. I even liked the surprisingly easy, I thought I would fight harder. Ryu-chan was also not even get sticks or something. If you have something thrown, then it is always executed only run, but did not return ... That was very strange.
My work on the farm was mainly to Hanamame (a type of bean) to pick and open to pick corn, zucchini picking or sorting potatoes. I also had to help in the household, ie wash, vacuuming, hanging laundry, etc. So total was the work of physical seen not particularly difficult and stressful. But they was sometimes very boring. Fortunately, the other German Wwoof was there, then we could at least entertain us. But I also believe that I have caught a good time because I often had days off. has
The Japanese food I tasted mostly good. Unfortunately, courts in some mushrooms inside. There were twice as white, small mushrooms that I even eat (yes, you read correctly, I've eaten them !!!), because I wanted to say anything. The other brown mushrooms, but I've sorted out discreetly, or not eaten. I must say that through these 2 weeks I have become the total rice, tofu and pumpkin fan. And it's not so bad in the morning even rice to ! Eat Incidentally, I have also tried natto - the supposedly worst Japanese food, which can be set before a foreigner. I found it eventually but not sooo disgusting, habs imagined worse. However, I must admit that I have never tasted raw, but always mixed with sauce. I always had natto but also can not eat. Between the work it was then time to time breaks with snacks. There I learned to love a Japanese candy: Gebäckstückchen covered with caramel. Goes well with coffee. I have to necessarily like what to take to Germany when I come home!
I could write sooo much about the time on the farm, but then the entry would be forever long. That is why I listen to here simply for today. Maybe I write again later to something. Overall I can say that I have the time on the farm was very interesting and that it was worth it to drive there.
