- preparing for my Tuesday exam - Feste und Feiern in Japan
- my notes make perfect sense: "haramaki - traditional Kleidung, ale jinde jinak"
- new Vocabulary:

- Bestattungsfeierlichkeiten - funeral ceremonies
- Sonnenwende - solstice (slunovrat, I had to look that up in English too)
- Tagundnachtgleiche = equionx (rovnodennost) (sometimes I love German, it literally means day-and-night-the-same)
- Geisterwelt = spirit world
- Schrein = shrein = svatyně
- Tempel = temple = chrám (I never know what the difference is)
- Malvenblätter = hollyhocks (?) = listy proskurníku topolovky (?)
- Räucherwerk = incense = kadidlo

I have a little notebook where I write the words that I don´t understand during the day and then I look them up later. During the past months I repeatedly wrote down one word that I didn´t know and repeatedly kept crossing it out thinking I must have misheard.
- Verschleimung = mocouc congestion = zahlenění (I didn´t need this word.)
- Verschleifung = assimilation of voice = asimilace hlásek (I needed this one. Phonetics.)
