Wwoof in Part II, Sasayama Sasayama
Hello again!
Here comes the second part of my experiences in Sasayama:
what I've done sooooo great in this city, that I could go to a kendo trial class. For the ignorant: Kendo is a Japanese sword martial arts.
Dan, Timo, Tylor and I went to so this first lesson and I must say it was really funny, interesting and exhausting. First There Were the typical course Aufwärmungskram, although we have first stretched and then warmed up. That was something strange. And the teacher had a really shocked look on it as he has seen how the foreigners but they are unguided * g * Then it went wrong with the basic things that were hard enough. I do not want to know how stupid that looked for professionals. Most importantly, the children who have trained with us for miles better than us. They would have probably made us all loose finish. In any case, you had on every shot, "Men!" . Cry Basically, that's not funny, then we should also lifted after the impact with the bamboo sword at the enemy and to vorbeipreschen "Meeeeeeen!" , Cry because I could no longer restrain myself. It just looked too ridiculous and Men! sounded like the bleating of a sheep xD laugh out loud That I could not resist the happiness level that way, but every time I have looked the enemy in the face, I had to grin still much to be able to fight. Overall, the Kendo class was a great experience.
had a few days later, I then have the opportunity to learn how to dress himself properly a kimono. There was a teacher in the house and has virtually given a private lesson for the women. You can not imagine how difficult it is to be all alone to put on the kimono right ... You must put as much turn to tie, which is pretty incredible. I do not know how to hold on to everything and then to simultaneously bind a cord around the waist without slipping that everything. We are not even an hour more to Obi (the top belt) came because we should first practice to put the rest right. I wonder how the women could wear this every day earlier. Without help I would never make it in life. The next hour would unfortunately only at 9.11, but I'm not even in Sasayama. But Midori-san has shown me in short, how to tie the obi properly. She also told me (aufgepasst!) 2 kimono, a kimono jacket, kimono and obi a lower paid !!!!! Is not that incredible? I could not believe it's not real, that I got it all for free! So extremely cool = D Things are used but even for that alone must be usually much numbers. I now have a package with all the kimonos sent home because they are really hard. I could carry around all this, never. I must say that I went to this host is really the best decision I've made.
The day before I left the other Wwoof have then made a campfire. Just for me! (Ok, that was a lie, it was Bonfire Night in England and somehow is a holiday or something I'm still perceived as my farewell gift:.. P) In any case, the real a nice farewell. I must say that was really a cool bunch of people and I will miss it perhaps is a little bit. I was really veeeery much fun on the farm. But well, today I am then left for Osaka. I will probably stay in Osaka 3-4 days.
So, the new entry will then probably get it at the time.
Love, Valerie

The X-largest bank in the U.S. ... The truth
... and what that has to do with us
... and what that has to do with us
this morning, something in the fluke, I heard the news on DLF. It was once again, as so often in the last 12 (or more) months of a bank failure reported in the United States. It is already at the 115th Broke. And it met with the CIT, according to the DLF is the fifth largest private bank in the States.
Maybe you think, dear reader, now: "That would not change us or with us yet, no bank has gone bust or something like that." Perhaps you are right, in the sense that you personally (yet) seems interesting, because you think you are not affected, or otherwise, casually, "What interests me strange misery"
Some quick questions still to begin with: Why are there so many bankruptcies in the U.S. and not in? And how can what is "only" the United States (respectively: only the U.S. dollars) concerns have an impact on us, where we pay for it with (T) €. [Teuro I call this paper stuff so you will soon realize that he is the same as the dollar, both were in the last 10 years worth so little that today more than twice the amount of money needed to participate in the same amount ! goods to buy, as was comparatively still the case 10 years ago - Inflation] And one more question: Did the U.S. not something like "stimulus packages"? And if so, where those amounts are gone, but if so many banks go bankrupt? Or which bank you could save for now "successful"?
If we really went no bank failures? But! IKB and Sachsen LB and Dresdner Bank and HRE and ...??? These banks were broke, otherwise they would have stayed with the old owners, independent and autonomous. You might say: "There is still the Dresdner." No, it does not exist anymore, it is only the old have become moldy green name on it. In the sham of it is 100 percent, Commerzbank and even this is a quarter of the State - the taxpayers, so we, you and me! In the U.S., works the same way.
And what do the dollar to us now? A lot. Almost everything in meaning.
We Germans are a nation of poets and thinkers. Not only. We are also inventors. And the German people within the set after World War II borders in the east and west worked diligently, though with varying success. (The GDR was, in my opinion in the Soviet bloc leaders, what you should not totally swept under the table.)
We call ourselves proud today "export world champion", and it does not matter whether we are the number are one, two or three in the world. Based on the 82 million Germans (per head) we are the No.1 However, we stand on this place - say willing, we no longer grow. Brazil, Russia, India and China are growing very strongly. They are catching up and they will overtake us as well. This is just a question time, not of yes or no, and if at all ...
What are the exports for now (still) paid, which we generate so hard? Right: with little green slips of paper on which is written: "$ $ $ IN GOD WE TRUST $$$". And the, after they have arrived, pushed down by the ECB for Germany - just like our grandparents did this with potatoes before 30, 40 or 50 years. Can we use the green poison because now not to buy in the U.S., or at least exchanged into euros?
NO! What do you want to buy in the U.S., if they produce nothing there, what we need, and what they produce (oil, gold, silver!) does not sell to us because the United States to reduce their raw materials in order to save their own resources ... and people felt they have not so many since, as we could from the many dollars again (back) board - remember, we deliver Europe (and the BRIC countries) is much more to the U.S. than they export - just it means if the altchronischen foreign trade deficit of U.S. patients in the premortal phase of the question.
I would say: As we sit but in the real (Sch. ..) mess!
Because in the end we have our good values - such as Hans in Luck - Exchanged for worthless printed paper. Subject you are still not because it's not your money, what is there in the basement of ECB (Bundesbank) to seed? Well, who then has the German bankruptcy banks (see above in the text) "captured?" Right: the state. And who is it? Also correct: WE taxpayers. And who is this soup to take the blame if it relates to the ECB or the Bundesbank, because then they would sometimes just 90 percent or more of their values (namely, the green piece of paper under the "foreign exchange reserves') write off? Again correct: WE German-European citizens, or worse, our children!
If you are still nothing, because your Money received by the Office (eg, Hartz IV)? Well, cheers! Do you heat about with the little money (hyperinflation) again (just like our grandparents did so) because it was cheaper to burn money than to buy fuel? And what do you then pay for their food if they can still burn your money just because it wants to have any more? And if you already do every little purchase with your debit or credit card, then you could be tomorrow morning "angearscht" (see me this dramatically-strong word to) be! You have to heat is not even paper - the "bank of their choice" is to them a few days later a new card (maybe with a personal ID code) and issue denominated in a new currency for which you can buy it even less. My friendly advice: Retire to ever warm!
Absurd, on the radio (again, DLF, but now 17:11 clock) to listen to that source (and broke!) With the slogan: "Germany's biggest sell-out" campaigns. No, guys! The biggest sale of the German economy will have long held elsewhere. Here. With money! And he's still not over. And he has not even started yet! (And I doubt very much that our politicians do not know this and they know it very well may just / do they not tell us because otherwise we might the idea came to ask us why we need such politicians, who know not solve problems, but ...)
If you want to deepen this subject further, you just googled by: Baader, PAPER suicide .
you want some advice, because you can practically do now to save your ass? Like to follow me just to http://twitter.com/altgold and Tweet me, for example, via @ replies or by DM that you want to help. I will help you easily, quickly and above all like to continue with help and advice.
Allow me at the end of a private communication: I will this blog in the near future at the request of Mrs. Petra Helene Clara set. She has neither the company nor this blog ever wanted. I will show up at a different blog provider under a different name with a slightly changed topics, but not without leaving a link here, new again.
All the best to you!

Does Anyone Breastfeed Their Hubby
Hello!
I'm writing again and this for the beautiful Sasayama, which is about 50km away from Osaka. Here I am again at a WWOOF host, which is quite different from the farm where I was before. It is to explain something complicated, like this everything works. The first few days after arriving I was a bit quite confused. Still, I try it once you explain what I'm doing here.
So the host, in which I live, is actually of 2 houses. The Nishimura-house you live in the family Nishimura, the Midori-san from the mother and her son is Gen (there is a second son, but lives in Tokyo). Then there is the Tsuji-house, live mainly in the Wwoof, with no real supervision. In the first house you have so more family life and the second house, the "party life" (but actually there are not really celebrated parties). So you can choose on arrival, what kind of house you want to live, provided no house is already occupied completely. I myself am in the family remained Nishimura, because there is a heating and internet. In another house there seems to be constantly cold, you have to ride your bike to work and there is absolutely no internet ...
gene, the so-called "Nou En founded project so that he will (sorry is that not exactly the right word ...) to address the aging of farm life. He thus takes Wwoof in their homes and places them free of the whole community in Sasayama available. The Farms that participate get there, so help us to Wwoof in their farm work, but are not even registered with Wwoof Japan. So I go almost every day a new farm and help out there. My work is currently mainly resulting from the Kuromame (black bean) plants to cut off the leaves. Much else I have not actually made in the 2 weeks I was here. This is because Sasayama is a famous place of production for Kuromame and supplies all over Japan. Moreover, almost every Japanese Kuromame need for Sylvester food.
As indicated here are several Wwoof on that host. With me in the house Nishimura still live the American Taylor, the Englishman and the German Timo Dan (whom I met at the previous host already). In the other house live Laura French, the English Lui, the Americans Lawson, and Japanese women Yoshimi and Yuriko. Most people here are very nice and pretty cool on it. Of course there are people I like less, but on the whole, I see myself with all the people very well. Also go here a lot of other people in and out, of which I have most part, but have no idea what they actually have to do with the family. A few are former students of the English School which was founded by the family Nishimura, some are teachers of this school, some are maybe just friends. Anyway, there's always something going on and I have a lot of fun: D
I experience here pretty neat things and may make typical Japanese stuff that probably elsewhere would cost a fortune. I was for example on a traditional Japanese festival (Matsuri). There, various groups of men carry around a kind of shrines in the district, in which sit above children indoors and drums. It then held a competition of who can longest and wildest of the groups carry round the shrines. The men drink beer and it also pretty much because they're so drunk from time to time is also small fights (but nothing serious). I must say I was quite shocked at first, but as long as one is no middle level inside, it's actually fun to watch. It also sold a lot of good food ^ ^ 2 of the gene WWOOFers and who have been through the shrines, which looked very exhausting. The next day, all bruised and sore shoulders had. Here are some pictures from the festival:
I was allowed to participate free of charge in a tea ceremony, because Midori-san, which organizes itself. Usually you can fork out for a tea ceremony, a lot of money, but I was lucky. Yuka-san, a former student of the English school has therefore prepared in a kimono and tea served. Midori-san was the teacher and Yuka-san has improved with her movements. It was quite interesting to watch it. Every movement was important and had to run perfectly be. The place where you sit or be placed in the cups, etc. was important. So in total there were observed very much.
The best thing I've seen, however, is that I could try on a kimono! Is not that cool? Unfortunately, I do not have all things fit perfectly, but it still looked good and was not really uncomfortable. But you had to put so many things ... Here is the photographic evidence. I have to say on some pictures you can tell me even a half-Japanese xD keep
I have seen sooo many other things and actually to tell you a bunch of stuff. But I have no desire to continue writing more does it take so long ... Since I anyway until 6.11. I will stay but write a second entry, and since then the rest is pure.
Love, Valerie
