Neurotic traveler

I just found this from a few years ago. This neurotic traveler is going on holiday, by the way! See you in a week!

Anxiety

Feeling very uninspired this weekend, hence the last of comics in the last two days! Maybe it's the anxiety setting in. 

Brandenburg

As I've mentioned in a few previous comics, I am going on a month-long solo bike trip in the state of Brandenburg in a few weeks. I made this comic today as part of a second round of inquiries I am sending out to look for people to meet and interview during my my trip. For a lack of a normal comic I am posting this here, but if you happen to know someone in Brandenburg...please send them my way: horibe (at) gmail.com! It would be great to have a  couple more interesting contacts.

Random Tidbits from Japan

Superwoman

So sorry for the lack of updates! I had no Internet access on my last few days in Japan

Transit Comic

I tried to do more comics while flying from Berlin to Japan but I got too tired. But here's one I did early in the morning at Schönefeld Airport!

Things my mom's asked me to bring from Germany

Flying out to Hokkaido tomorrow. First visit to Japan in over three years, huzzah! 

Helsinki: First Impressions

Moi! We've finally got Internet connection at our place in Helsinki so here are some scribbles from my first impressions of the city yesterday. Hello from the sunny and beautiful design (and Moomin!) capital of the world! (I'm seriously going nuts from the adorableness and have to stop myself from buying everything. So Japanese, I know!)

dOCUMENTA weekend

And I'm home! End of the dOCUMENTA weekend with the family!

Only Eleven

G, his family, and I are in Kassel for the last weekend of dOCUMENTA. Upon arrival, a little receptionist checked us into our hotel.

Strawberry Yogurt

Souvenir Sunburn.

Pretend-Italian

I'm just very, very good at pretending. This applies to every language I (don't) speak.

Happy Sunday!

Mexican Cacti

Traveling from Palermo to Taormina by train.

So far so good

All is good in Palermo. Aside from two elderly Japanese tourists and three Chinese shopkeepers, we seem to be the only Asians in the city. Lots of Germans, though! And lots of seafood and pistachios.

I can has Internets?

Uh-oh. I'm going to have to figure things out when I get there, but hopefully I'll be able to keep the blog going...!

Bolesławiec

Bolesławiec has awesome pottery, but not a whole lot else . . .

"Nozomi is sleeping and can't update her blog today. Sorry!"

More Grey

Ahem. And have I mentioned grey is my favourite colour?

Brain Lubricant

T, you're right. We did get sick. All of us!
I think my dad picked it up somewhere on Skye, but fortunately, my mom and I only got sick on the day we got back. I don't know what's happened, but my immune system has really gone downhill since moving to Berlin. This is at least my fourth time being sick this year. Weakling!

But yes. One of the great mysteries of the world: where is all this mucus coming from? Where does my body store this huge supply of mucus? I wish I could just find . . . ok, right. Enough of that.

Anyway, I'll end this mucous topic with a wonderful Calvin and Hobbes strip:

Bonne journée!
