My arrival in Aizu Wakamatsu is now 12 days ago and there is still much snow.
I have never seen so much snow before. Amazing.
As we don’t have much snow in Northern Germany I don’t know how to Ski. BUT…
This bad situation just changed last Sunday!
My first trail to ski! I think nobody wanted to believe me when I said I’ve never skied in my life before.
Yamadera-san promised me, Kato-san will show me because he is a great teacher. He did!
And also Kaida-san! Great Job! Otsukara sama deshita…
But they didn’t know how hard it is to teach me 😉
So they just go with me up to a very big hill and all I was thinking.. OH MY GOD!!!!
I cannot do this! But somehow… I have to go down … by ski.
So Kaido-san and Kato-san had a really HARD job!!!!
Fortunately my first try to ski was successful: no broken legs or arms! But skiing???
No… I’m not made for this…
After my first try we decided it would be better (for everybody) to take lesson!
So I had 2 hours lesson and was surprised!
It’s still strange for me to ski but somehow it works a little better than before.
Nevertheless I had a great sunny Sunday. I enjoyed very much…

Oh… and … I want to thank Nakamura-san for this very very beautiful portrait of me!!!!
Thank you very much!!! It has a special place now in my room 🙂
