\"Go<\/p>\n

Auf der Suche nach dem Eselladen, der eigentlich ein Pinguinladen ist und angeblich Handys verkauft. Die Suche eine Odyssee.
\n<\/p>\n

Doch vorher Jobinterview. Zu lange geschlafen, zu lange gefr\u00fchst\u00fcckt. \u00dcberhaupt, alles viel zu lange. Ein unauffindbarer Weg, U-Bahnen, die nicht erscheinen, Metrop\u00e4sse die nicht funktionieren. Japaner legen angeblich Wert auf P\u00fcnktlichkeit, was ich verstehe und nachvollziehen kann. Doch auch die traurige Erkenntnis, dass es einfach nicht m\u00f6glich ist. Was hei\u00dft das \u00fcberhaupt: P\u00fcnktlichkeit, wenn Zeit relativ ist? Platonische Fragen. Dann im Raum mit einer Frau, die mich furchtbar traurig anschaut. Unfassbar traurig sogar. Wahrscheinlich, weil ich zu sp\u00e4t bin. Ich f\u00fchle mich schuldig, versuche gute und schlaue Dinge zu sagen, Antworten zu geben, die subtil zum Ausdruck bringen, warum ich perfekt geeignet bin zum Kellnern und Englisch sprechen. Vergeblich. Ihre Augen werden immer gr\u00f6\u00dfer und fassungsloser. Ich gelobe Besserung.<\/p>\n

Danach wieder auf der Stra\u00dfe. Wo ist jetzt dieser Eselladen? Es wird immer hei\u00dfer, immer voller. Der hei\u00dfeste Tag \u00fcberhaupt. Wir gehen und w\u00fcnschen uns nichts sehnlicher als Eis. F\u00fcr die Hose. Ein kaltes Bier f\u00fcr die Seele. Oder \u00fcberhaupt kalten Alkohol, Antwort auf alle Fragen. Stundenlanges Gehen und Schwitzen und Leiden ohne Happyend. Der Pinguinesel ist gefunden, sogar Handys gibt es, doch einen Reisepass haben wir nicht. Nicht heute.<\/p>\n

Searching for the donkey store, which actually is a penguin store supposed to be selling mobile phones. A mere odyssey.<\/p>\n

Before, another job interview. Sleeping for too long, having breakfast for too long. Everything took too long. An untraceable way, metros that don\u2019t appear, metro passes that wouldn\u2019t work. The Japanese seem to put an emphasis on punctuality and I totally understand this. However, there is also the bitter awareness that this is just not possible. What does it mean, anyway: punctuality, when time is relative? Platonic questions. Later, I\u2019m in a room with a woman looking at me terribly sad. Unbelievably sad even. Probably because I\u2019m late. I\u2019m feeling guilty, try to say good things, smart things, provide answers that subtly express why I am the ideal candidate to be an English speaking bartender. To no avail. Her eyes grew bigger as if she still couldn\u2019t believe it. I promise to become a better person.<\/p>\n

Back on the road. Where is this stupid donkey store? It\u2019s getting hotter, the streets more and more crowded. The hottest day so far. We\u2019re walking and would kill for some ice – for our trousers. A cold beer for the soul. Or just cold alcohol, the answer to all questions. Walking and sweating and suffering for hours \u2013 without happy end. The penguindonkey is found, he even sells mobile phones. However, we have no passport. Not today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
