One year ago I had promised to come back to Vietnam but, as I was in Japan, my word was endangered by my financial situation. The flights from Seoul to Hanoi were very expensive. I was trying all possble alternatives until a few days before my planed arrival in Hanoi and finally, a few days[...]]]> Sun, 03 Jun 2012 04:15:00 +0200 5157335ce2d166fa2568e0d587fda4cc http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-back-in-hanoi-106282112-comments.html#anchorComment http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-a-japanese-recipe-onigiri-105993561.html
Onigiris are filled rice balls, you can find them everywhere in Japan, they are one of the most usual meal. When I asked my host family to teach me how to make onigiris, they laughed and said it was too easy. Anyway. If it is easy then I can do it again Europe and also share it with you.[...]]]> Tue, 29 May 2012 02:24:00 +0200 c4add9b8eb4da639fd1935de8c718827 http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-a-japanese-recipe-onigiri-105993561-comments.html#anchorComment http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-cha-no-yu-the-japanese-tea-ceremony-105821812.html
After a brief research on the Internet, my friend Yuta found out that there were some tea ceremonies conducted in English in a big hotel of Tokyo. We registered by phone and one day later, we were introduced into the tea house on the 7th floor. A woman dressed in a green yukata and red obi-sash[...]]]> Sat, 26 May 2012 05:41:00 +0200 a272de8fa7a48b8681f5507fc91f1c95 http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-cha-no-yu-the-japanese-tea-ceremony-105821812-comments.html#anchorComment http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-a-land-of-contrasts-105703047.html
Of all the Asian countries I have visited until now (and it is quite a few now actually!), Japan is probably the most difficult to understand. Walking through the streets of Tokyo is a constant clash of what appears to us, foreigners, to be two worlds. Traditional Japan is incredibly artful and[...]]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 03:47:00 +0200 9ab4c9306314a8b8e4b5309e2816858c http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-a-land-of-contrasts-105703047-comments.html#anchorComment http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-japan-finally-105702586.html
Prologue. When I was 13 I discovered mangas and animes, like pretty much everyone at that time. Step by step however, this interest evolved in an interest for the Japanese society and culture. I left the mangas aside and grabed books by famous Japanese authors like Yukio Mishima and Ranpo[...]]]> Thu, 24 May 2012 03:24:00 +0200 1f3d7048dbf1af8fdf3c65e813414bef http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-japan-finally-105702586-comments.html#anchorComment http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-seoul-s-angels-105191291.html
4am. In the darkness of the guesthouse in Ulan Bator I woke up one last time and one last time I turned on my computer before leaving Mongolia. You might think am a geek but for once it was a good idea. An email was waiting for me, from my former Korean roommate, Lynn, Do you remember ?

1 month in Mongolia! And what a month! Remember all my visa issues? Remember I was about to extend my stay in Beijing? It seemed to me on my last day I had never been anywhere else than in Mongolia. One month before I knew nothing of the country, nothing of the language, nothing of the dance,[...]]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 02:37:00 +0200 32a1573b04f3521810bb4dc7ce1c2943 http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-goodbye-mongolia-baechte-105125393-comments.html#anchorComment http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-a-mongolian-spring-105125269.html
In the Western world, Spring is closely associated with flowers. The buds finally open under the sun, making the streets look colourful and perfuming the air. Butterflies come out and after the dull winter months, everything seems to be coming to life again. In Mongolia, where winters are hard[...]]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 02:29:00 +0200 28aed80495dad1d9693d34311903c276 http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-a-mongolian-spring-105125269-comments.html#anchorComment http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-zavkhan-105123552.html
If my stay in Mongolia was a video game then Zavkhan was definitely the last level. The level where everythinng is nearly the same a before, but more difficult. The College of Arts is a little sovietic building with no charm and a team of teachers completely overwhelmed by the fact that a[...]]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 00:43:00 +0200 e23f6c16b2ccb6798e1bb80b09167de6 http://lucky-day.over-blog.de/article-zavkhan-105123552-comments.html#anchorComment
