We had a great welcome in Sapporo, including this poster. Thanks everybody, you made us having a fantastic time in Sapporo!

Dinner time, first original Onigiri in Japan for me after 2 years. Great talks, our host family had two doughters, 3 and 5 years, sleeping at that time.

Thueringer Bratwurst, of course.

Desk filled with my things, we even received a nice paper introducing the names of the host family!

After my back issues last year I perform daily gymnastics. The children joined and made the gym quite interesting this time!

The last dinner at the homestay family, friends came for a visit.

The children also started to get accustomed to us ^^

Sapporo and Munich are since 40 years partner towns, this evening an event was scheduled for this. Here is Tetsu sensei (our Japanese teacher and planning the whole tour) having a speech.

We had breakfast at a canteen used by workers, 650yen (6.5euro) is cheap for this great shashimi

Red Hat Tokyo office: the collegues at the reception did not change to English when I approached them in Japanese.

Really great to meet GSS and TAM folks there, thanks for taking the time! The visit of the Tokyo office was one of the best things of this travel.
