Das beste Vegetarische Ramen Restaurant ganz in der Nähe vom Japanese Guesthouse, wo ich erst gewohnt habe. 

Dieser Ausspruch sagt, dass sie auch Zopfgummis anbieten, um den Ramen genießen zu können, ohne das Haar in der Suppe.

Ein Flaschenautomat

Metro: die Eingänge sind immer offen und falls man einfach durch gehen will ohne Ticket, erst dann gehen die Tore zu.

VEGETARISCH: es gibt viele Inhaltsstoffe aus Tierprodukten, daher lohnt sich der Blick auf die ZUtaten schon. Es gibt wenig Vegetarische Gerichte, die nicht doch einen Fisch in sich versteckt haben;)

Der Weg zum Institut...damals schien noch die Sonne;)

In der Bibliothek und Institutsfotos folgen: eine sehr schöne Architektur, die die Natur mit einschließt.
