「日本人の知らない日本語」 Mangaka Hebizô and teacher Umino in Vienna - Part Two

Vienna Sightseeing with Hebizô and Umino
On the Saturday, a group of five students of Japanese Language Division of University of Vienna went for sightseeing with Hebizô and Umino.
First we met at their hotel and went to Schloß Schönbrunn. We really really had luck, because of the beautiful weather (only rainy days before...), but unfortunatelly there were so many people at Schloß Schönbrunn, who wanted to visit the castle (and not the park!). So we would have to wait for about 3 hours to get inside the castle. That plan was skipped and we took a little walk through the park and went to the Gloriette, were we had some ice cream. Yummy!
Hebizô and Umino are interested in flea markets and so we went to Naschmarkt, which was really really crowed! They were impressed by the flea market and the food market at Naschmarkt and we also visited Cha-no-Ma, a Japanese tea shop, and Nipponya, a Japanese supermarket. Already quite hungry, we were looking for a nice place for lunch...
but something embarrasing happend...

「日本人の知らない日本語」 Mangaka Hebizô and teacher Umino in Vienna - Part One

 The Comic Essay 「日本人の知らない日本語」 (Japanese that Japanese don't know) is created by the Japanese language teacher Umino and the mangaka (漫画家) Hebizô. Umino's experience as a Japanese language teacher for foreigners in Japan are the basic for the Comic Essay, which contains short and funny episodes with her students.
Currently, 2 Volumes of 日本人の知らない日本語 were released and teacher Umino and mangaka Hebizô traveled to Europe for some inspiration for the 3rd Volume. They visited Japanese language students in Belgium, Germany, Swiss - and Austria!
Here are my memories of the events with Hebizô and Umino ミ☆
