driven by events
again things are happend and i got driven by events. in april 2009, an accident in one of my hikes in a mountain in japan. i broke my ankle, which with i had to walk out by myself for two days.
an operation on it in kyoto was necessary, which forced to take a bit of a time, before i can continue - two screws in a bone as a gift was the result of it.
my visa expired also, that i had to leave japan and went back to germany after one year.. with no option to continue traveling with this ankle.
i think of it as a real good experience to have and i make new plans for the next destination to continue after my recovery.
