German Meister in Arisaka

In a previous post I already mentioned the eco membrane "intello" from the German "Proclima". We now had a German Meister for two days at our house, to give instruction on how to use and install the membrane properly.

He was able to stay with a Yanagisawa-san, a very kind local who together with his wife agreed to put up with him for two nights.

I will write more about the demonstration later, but it was very enjoyable for everyone to talk about each other's customs and way of living. Of course we also introduced Thomas (the Meister) to Japanese Hotspring, and he particularly enjoyed the massage/torture chair. However, he could not be pursuaded to eat sashimi, and other lovely fish products.

As he was from Weinheim, I was able to coomunicate with him in our native "Badisch", so I actually ended up interpreting Badisch and Japanese!
