Summer time

Hello everyone,

the first two weeks of SAP Sales & Distribution training are over. It is in Japanese and kind of hard, but I am able to use the English material to study with and I am confident that I will pass the exam in two weeks.

Since coming back from Malaysia the weather has been fantastic, over 30 degrees and sunshine all day long. Unfortunately I only get to enjoy the weather on the weekends.
There are certain things that you just have to do in Japan. And in summer one of those things are Hanabi (Fireworks). So thats what I did! I went with one of my friends to a fireworks event close to her home. We didn't actually sit in the official area for the fireworks and thats why it was not so crowded (thankfully). We still had a very nice view. The actual fireworks took over an hours and it was really amazing. Unfortunately it is hard to take pictures. Here are some of the best I managed to take, but they don't do the actual thing justice.







I also found some time to do some tourist stuf on the weekend, and so I went to Enoshima with my boyfriend.
Enoshima is a very small island off the coast of Kamakura about one and a half hours from Tokyo by train. And despite being so small there is actually a lot to see and to do.
First we ate Shirasudon, the typical food on Enoshima, which you can get at every corner. Shirasu are very small fish.
Enoshima is actually very high and there are many steps to climb, we made our way up by escalator (because someone, not me, was too lazy to walk) and first visited Enoshima shrine, then the Samuel Cocking Garden and the Iwaya Caves.
Before making our way back home we also went to the beach, just to put our feet in the water!
Here are my impressions:
