design of the okiya

A okiya has all the usual traditional Japanese design. The hanamachi are not just big and mostly the houses are very close together. The small space is a little "ring-like" Construction of the houses used effectively. The garden of a okiya is as it were, by this "ring-like" construction often in the middle of this ring, as shown here is good:








Sure there are other and quite ordinary construction methods, but this appears to have quite a lot. A okiya has, like other traditional Japanese-built houses, with sliding walls, "fusuma" called. These are mainly used as room dividers. Also found in a okiya "byoubu" said foldable screens and "shoji", also as a room divider or be used as wall and window trim.

Toe Infections Pedicures Cuticles

images from Tibet

After spending a few days in Lhasa and we more or less accustomed to the altitude, it fell to a land route to Nepal. Samye, Tsetang, Gyantse, Shigatse and Tingri, our stops on the way to the border in Zhangmu. In addition to many monasteries, and more or smaller towns impressed, especially the scene in Tibet. We came closer and closer to the Himalayas and the passes were higher. The highest pass we crossed was almost 5300 meters high and was a lot of air to breathe, it is not really. This was the view incredible and very impressive. In Tingri, which is not far away from the Mount Everest Base Camp, we were able to take a view on the highest mountain in the world. Since the landscape is not really describe in words, I hear at this point just to write on it and attach a few pictures ...

Bench Fix Salon Haircut Cost

oxygen from the can

Our visit to Lhasa was very exciting and varied. Because of our cold we could not visit some attractions but still we got to know some other places that are so in any travel guide. I would recommend this now in any case but nevertheless it was an interesting experience for us.

Because of our cold, we had very high fever, which I wanted to fight with some stronger tablets. In retrospect, I would advise caution as medications change as a side effect of the blood picture can. The small amount of oxygen that exists at this level can be transported as worse. In any case, I woke in the night when Germany threw Argentina at the World Cup from the race to clock to 2 and had breathing problems. I suddenly had problems to breathe and my heart beat overturned.
After we get some help with the hotel and our guide, my arms were numb and I was shortly before losing consciousness.
now tried the people from the hotel to oxygen, which you might get somewhere. They arrived with five oversized spray cans spray using an article of pure oxygen. At that moment, really funny when the well-being depends more on such a spray. For lack of alternatives I sprayed all they were worth, hoping for a hospital. The eternal
no ambulance came and realized the whole action in the hotel forever delayed, I then several minutes later. The people from the hotel helped me be more or less down the stairs and loaded me into a taxi. I hang my course, spray cans, which were slowly running out. But apparently helped the cans, I again felt my hands and feet, and was fully conscious. Now I was to capture the journey to hospital in a position, the situation in Lhasa's old town at night.
I felt suddenly as in the war. All 50 yards were 50-60 fully armed soldiers with guns at the ready. were armored vehicles and barriers at every corner I always find my real problems are forgotten. I was now the military and the otherwise empty streets suddenly more concern.
When we reached the hospital, we now had the chance a glimpse of the Tibetan / Chinese health care system to get. Upon entering the hospital, we missed the typical hospital smell. The smell of her, it looked more like a quiet little place in the station. On top of that there had been a knife that night and left eingige more or less bleeding patients had a very strange impression. Still, everything went right
fast and I was at a doctor's room. I am sure that lost through the various instances of translating a lot of information but after he went but then examined the heart and lungs were we on the right track. Meanwhile, the situation had with breathing again leveled out quite well, only the heart still raced.
were the way with me for another 3 or 4 other patients in the treatment room and everyone crowded around the doctor and would be investigated.

After this action, I then put the tablets again spontaneously. Two days later, and after several visits to the hospital was then finally realized that it was unexpected problems during a cold, the then Antibotika pretty well subsided. I must here also say that we arrived at one of the further out in a new hospital, which made a slightly better impression.

In any case, now there was no danger anymore and we were able to return to the hotel. We climbed into the taxi and drove towards the hotel. When it came to the Old Town the ride was too late. The above-mentioned soldiers revolted risk. Now we had to last about 400 meters on foot. Constantly we were stopped and mustered out of the hotel and our guide had to explain seemingly much. So we were very tired looking compared to figures a few hundred soldiers ... how unfair!
