Fireworks and Okonomiyaki

The highlights of the last 2 days were definetely the fireworks in Yokohama at thursday evening and the meal with the company at friday. But let's start with the first one.

Everyone just wanted to see the fireworks :)

After some days of work and slepping, I was finally dragged out of this routine. This time I went with my co-worker Mika-san and two friends of her to the fireworks or in Japanese "花火" which is pretty usual in Japan during the summer. So many people gather around one place in a city to watch fireworks.

And they are pretty amazing. The first half of it. Unfortunately was the smoke of the fireworks so bad that a big smoke screen took most of the sight after the half of the show. But nevertheless was it pretty amazing just to relax and watch the fireworks. I will defintely do it again. Wait ... Saturday is the next one in Tokyo, am I right?







The meal together with the company at friday was planned long before. Maruta-san (aka my boss ;) had coordinated everything so that we just had to go to a nearby restaurant after work. At this play, I want to thank him again for all the ways he help to get together with everyone :)

It was a very smooth evening were I discovered some new secrets of the Japanese kitchen. But onfortunately the Sake was a liiitle bit strong and I can now not remember the names of the dishes, just Okonomiyaki. And just because I knew it before :D

Okonomiyaki - The only dish I can name ;)

It was a great experience to get together with my co-workers, even my Japanese language skills are still worse oO But through observation, listening and combination I got most of the topics ^^

After a great meal with greater people, I drove back to my apartment with Moritz-san, the fellower which I mentioned before :) After a first confusion about the way, I finally found back home.

Tomorrow will be a short night visit of Tokyo and at Sunday my next trip in Tokyo during the day :D

Greetings from Yokohama!
