\"My<\/p>\n

Z\u00e4rtlich streicheln erste Sonnenstrahlen mein Gesicht. Das Klingeln des Weckers ert\u00f6nt sanft in meinen Ohren. Beschwingt springe ich von meiner Luftmatratze auf, lande federnd auf meinen F\u00fc\u00dfen und laufe fr\u00f6hlich tr\u00e4llernd in die K\u00fcche. Mein Spiegelbild l\u00e4chelt mich strahlend an und das Duschwasser prasselt erquickend auf mich nieder. Schwarzer, dampfender Kaffee in der Tasse und ein herrlicher Morgen und Tag vor mir. Ich verlasse das Haus und schlendere die Stra\u00dfe entlang Richtung Bahnhof. Menschen winken herzlich, fr\u00f6hlich.<\/p>\n

Viel zu fr\u00fch erreiche ich mein Ziel und habe noch gen\u00fcgend Zeit, mich umzusehen, die Gegend zu erkunden, mir einen \u00dcberblick zu verschaffen: Hier also werde ich k\u00fcnftig arbeiten.<\/p>\n

Das B\u00fcro, das ich betrete, wirkt freundlich und nach wenigen Sekunden erscheint ein l\u00e4chelnder Japaner. Ich berichte ihm von meiner Zeit in Neuseeland, erkl\u00e4re ausf\u00fchrlich meine bevorzugten Lehrmethoden f\u00fcr japanische Studenten. Wir scherzen, spa\u00dfen und nach einer halben Stunde, die mir wie wenige Minuten erscheint, verlasse ich \u00fcberlegen l\u00e4chelnd die Sprachschule, zwinkere meinem k\u00fcnftigen Chef noch einmal selbstbewusst zu. Ich wei\u00df: Dieser Job geh\u00f6rt mir. Noch einmal gehe ich durch die Stra\u00dfen und kann mich des Gef\u00fchles nicht erwehren, dass da noch etwas sein muss. Etwas, das fehlt…<\/p>\n

\n

The sunrays caress my face gently. The alarm sound softly reaches my ears. I jump off my inflatable mattress with ease, land resiliently on my feet and walk into the kitchen whistling happily. The man in the mirror smiles at me, and the shower water rains down refreshingly. Black, steamy coffee in my cup and a beautiful day to come. I leave the house and stroll along the street to the station. People wave heartily, joyfully.<\/p>\n

I reach my destination way too early and have enough time to take a look around, explore the surroundings and to get an overall impression: So, that\u2019s where I\u2019m gonna work.<\/p>\n

The office I enter appears to be friendly and, after a few seconds, a good-humoured Japanese man welcomes me. I tell him about my time in New Zealand and explain to him my preferred teaching methods for Japanese students. We joke, we laugh and after half an hour, which felt like just a few minutes, I leave the language school smiling confidently giving a last self-certain wink to my future boss. I know: This job is mine. Once again, I walk through the streets and can\u2019t help but getting the feeling that there still must be something. Something that\u2019s missing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
