お久しぶり〜！

Or for those of you, who can‘t be bothered with learning three different writing systems (yes, I‘m looking at you, Japanese): Long time no see!

Yes, it‘s been a while, and normally I would make up some lame excuses of a lack of time (which has been the case sometimes) but to be honest, sometimes I was just plainly unproductive when it came to social media. I rather do something outside or spend time with myself than updating on the internet. At these times I share things only with the most important people in my life - family and closest friends.

So, sorry if you‘ve felt left out until now, but you‘ll be sorry you wished for more juicy Japan updates, because now I’m not planing to shut up for a while ;P

Yesterday (Sat) I also went to my first masterclass held by William Matteuzzi at #kunitachiondai. There I met a girl from my Japanese Song seminar and we agreed to go to our professor‘s concert that evening. It was an intense experience listening to contemporary pieces by Japanese composers. Especially since our teacher was singing. I really saw and learned a lot yesterday, which was also a little exhausting, but worth every drop of sweat - metaphorically speaking. I‘m just so grateful to be here and having the chance to learn about so many things in such a wonderful environment, with lovely people supporting me. 🥰🌺 (hier: Kunitachi, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2tZCiBHKRd/?igshid=1ct882d544r4e

Yesterday (Sat) I went to my first workshop at #Kunitachiondai. It was brilliant, Batoukin - a string instrument held between your legs and played with a bow, decorated with a beautiful horse head - and Hoomii - traditional mongolian throat and overtone singing. I was swept off my feet, especially after I told them, that my ancestors came from Mongolia (the hungarian part) and I still felt a connection to the sound of the music and the soothing sound of the language - even more so, when thinking of my late grandfather who actually tracked back our roots to the times of Dschengis Khan - we exchanged contact information to stay in touch. After seeing them again at the mensa, they even gave me precious gifts - a mini Batoukin and some mongolian chocolate which I am very excited about.

Today I went in search for breakfast near Uni, because I (thought I) was late for a workshop. When I found out I had an hour to spend I found this small bakery and got myself a little treat. Best start of the day #studyingabroad #giftoftime #smallbakery #cakeandbread #kunitachiondai (hier: Kunitachi, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rbe6mHDot/?igshid=8ifoa82iva1o

After my first Typhoon, the tree on my way to my first day of Uni was split in half, I had lunch with a friend, spoke Italian, bought a book and already got my first assignment - a Japanese Song by Yoshinao Nakada, a composer very dear to me, since I already sang a couple of his beautiful pieces. #studyabroad #unilife #kunitachiondai #vaccai #nakadayoshinao #soprano (hier: Kunitachi, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2McJ5pnkCg/?igshid=ppnki6gsvu0p
