It was nice to visit Munich again, and it felt a little cozy because I had gotten used to it, but there are still a lot of awkward parts for me, who was bound to be a foreigner, and it seems unavoidable that I felt a lot of unfamiliar aspects to my eyes. And while driving on the way to the company house, I was still unfamiliar with the road, so I wandered a little on the road and the car behind me was constantly buzzing. It's a stark contrast to what it was in Japan. When I looked at the crackling car, the car had not been cleaned properly, so the exterior of the car was almost the level of a mop.

Maybe it's because they were tired of life and they didn't have enough time or you haven't properly learned manners and manners. I wanted to talk about learning properly in a place like Japan. I think that  was the difference between developed and underdeveloped countries. Could it be that Germany has lost a lot of such advanced culture now? I suddenly wondered why.

The influx of refugees and immigrants from many foreign countries seemed to have damaged the German culture. And although Germany's economic situation and real economy are improving recently, it seems that it may be due to the fact that the economy has not recovered significantly from the recession. These events seemed to make the young people in Germany realize that they could not afford more advanced culture and that they have difficulties in life.

Of course, I think that it is too much to exaggerate a small incident and make a logical leap. 

On the side of the road, everyone is hunched over in thick coats. That's how cold the weather is. It is now almost the end of February, and it almost felt like the last of winter. I saw the weather forecast that today and tomorrow will be quite cold and after that the weather will return to normal and warm. Spring seems to be coming soon here. Just as it is said that it is darkest before dawn, it seems that it is the coldest weather before spring.

After arriving at the house provided by Institute and taking a hot shower again, I think I would be alive. Everything was in good order. The lake seen in front of the residence was covered with snow, which made it exotic and new in its own way.

Munich in winter offered another charm. I was so impressed how quiet it was. It was a very good environment for scholars to study. The view of the lake in front calmed the mind.

I made a brief contact with the lab and took a break. I liked it was very quietl, but it seemed like Chopin's Nocturne would suit a quiet night all of a sudden. It was touching once again that a piano melody could be so beautiful, and it feels as if it is guiding you into another world. Food that also was so sweet as to bring a lot of emotion to the heart.

Come to think of it, wouldn't it be Europe, especially Germany, where classical music was born? In fact, the scenery of Europe seems to have all the conditions sufficient for classical and romantic music to be born. In a remote location in Munich overlooking the snowy lake shore, Chopin's Nocturne, flowing quietly under the dark night sky, completely captured all the body and mind of mine with its mysterious and bizarre charm. Just like a mysterious potion that made me forget all the troubles of everyday life and all the worries of the world... .

Another experience in a world other than the repeated daily life seemed to make me think and feel a lot, both consciously and unconsciously. Although the winter scenery of Munich, which had been somewhat familiar now, was still another moving and different stimulus for me. I wanted to feel as much novelty as possible without adding or subtracting, and to have the time to constantly challenge new things.
