Last-minute preparations for the trip to Korea and Japan are keeping me very busy.

There is another batch of Kinder Überraschung Eier to be bought, and I have just asked the neighbor for more empty egg boxes for transporting them to Japan (via Korea).

Kinder Überraschung Schokoeier

Earlier this week, I had ordered some Swiss knives VICTORINOX Offiziersmesser, Hiker, rot  (priced at 15 euro a piece) via Amazon. de to hand out to our male Japanese friends.

Our suitcases are also filled with Haribo, The little German Cookbook (also from Amazon.de), Baumkuchen from the local supermarket (requested by a Japanese friend), and many other things.

Visiting Japan is a real schlepping trip as giving gifts is so customary, more so than in western countries.

So, we are soon off, so さよなら(sayonara).
