Kiwi in Berlin

I'm just one of the 250 (registered) New Zealanders living in Berlin. Here I try to answer pressing questions such as: What are the Germans like? What happens in Berlin on a day-to-day basis? Why is NZ so far away? What does "playing the offended sausage" mean?

Hai!

So, we are two New Zealanders living in a faux-Japanese flat in Germany. So, which country am I in again?

Here are some pics:

1. This is the life-sized Japanese samurai warrior in our living room. So far his uses include being a substitute Christmas tree and a coat holder.



2. Here is Richard slipping into one of the two wall-mounted kimonos. So, no swanning round the house in one of these little numbers.



3. The bedroom. Note the lantern-light, kimono, futon, stones round the tatami mat.



Arigato gozaimasu. Anshyo Bango (Thank you. PIN number. I can't remember much more Japanese from year two university than that, but it's inspiring me to go to Japan.)
