Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
The Misato is a small Japanese restaurant at the southern gate of Chinatown in London, United Kingdom. The name means female who makes typos and I have no clue why it is named like this. But they serve very good Japanese food in a cosy atmosphere. Continue reading “Misato”

It is known as the Bergwildpark Meißner and as the Wildpark Germerode but don’t be confused: it is only one place. At Germerode, Meißner, Germany you will find a park with wild animals that wait for you getting inside and feeding them.

One of the most beautiful views on the rivers running through Hann. Münden, Germany is rather unknown – because it is hidden behind a factory. If you leave the city center and pass under the Pionierbrücke along river Fulda on the Eduard-Wüstenfeld-Weg you can see a spillway where birds rest and search for food.
The Wilhelmsplatz is a central place in Göttingen, Germany with nice green areas. It is named after emperor Wilhelm I. and a statue of him is standing there. The place is surrounded by important buildings of the Georg-August-Universität: management offices, the Aula am Wilhelmsplatz used for academic events (and also containing the former student jail) and on the other side the old student restaurant can be found.
