My last week in Manza deep in the Japanese Alps. We had snow again… And some last photos from here before I head for Tokyo on Wednesday and to Seoul on Friday. There will be further web page updates and more infos about the tour within the week.

I’m in crunch mode. Who already glanced at the German www.cyclonara.de page might have discovered that the contents about my stay in Japan have been transferred. With this post my blog moves and is turned into my blog about my bicycle trip. Well. Still three weeks to go. After my journey through South Korea the last remaining weeks of the whole year in Japan during the aftermath of Fukushima will follow then. Only the loyal readers know why it wasn’t possible to stay in Japan for a whole year.

In contrast to www.prototypetour.eu and .de www.cyclonara.eu and .de won’t be a pure video blog however the contents will be posted nearer the time.

Moreover the route has been extended. After I will have cycled through South Korea the trip will continue in Fukuoka and not as stated before in Hiroshima.

Within the next weeks the web page will receive further updates. So I apologize in advance for mainly posting news about the technical progress until the tour starts on 25^thof May.

The route of my bicycle trip through South Korea and Japan is planned. I’d like you to know the mayor cities and the time table. The smaller cities in between (not listed) can vary. And sometimes there will be even road forks and you can vote which one I shall take.

South Korea

May 25^th Seoul

May 28^th Chungju

May 30^th Kumi

June 1^st Daegu

June 8^th Pusan

Japan

June 13^th Hiroshima

June 23^rd Kobe

June 24^th Osaka

July 2^nd Kyoto

July 10^th Nagoya

July 28^th Nikko

August 1^st Fukushima

August 4^th Sendai

August 16^th Towada lake

August 18^th Tomakomai

August 20^th Sapporo

As for the blog… A new domain for the page about the bicycle trip has been registered. I think I found a pun which is easy to remember. As as I will cycle through Japan and this will also be my good bye to Japan after all I mixed the English word to CYCLE with the Japanese word for saying good bye: SAYONARA. The results are:

www.cyclonara.de (German)

and

www.cyclonara.eu (English)

I haven’t decided yet whether to add the content of this blog to the new one or start a complete new blog. What do you think I should do? I’m happy about any comment.

Continue reading »]]> Merry Christmas!

The last Christmas holiday and then it will already be over again :( I hope everybody enjoyed the time and had a nice Christmas.

So I will start updating the blog this week. Since this is quite a lot of work it might take one or two weeks. Following will be improved:

The page will receive an index.

Posts will be extended by more useful links for tourists, people who also want to do working holiday in Japan or for those who are simply interested in Japan and its culture.

Also older entries will be enhanced by photos and – depending on how much time I will have for it – also by some films. Of course it will also be listed in the latest entry under which post you will find the new media.

PS:

Some enhancements have already been made.

• 25th week: the pictures of the added photo gallery received subtitles and descriptions.
• Break in style: photos of Moscow have been added. (Subtitles and descriptions will follow)
• 16th week: photos of the Tokyo Gameshow have been added.
• 12th week: photos from the Fuji San hiking tour have been added.
