I have lived and regularly travelled to #Japan 🇯🇵 for almost 12 years now. I am struck of how touristy it has become. The visitors are not just from Europe 🇪🇺 or America 🇺🇸 - there is many Chinese 🇨🇳, Taiwanese 🇹🇼, Hongkongers 🇭🇰, Koreans 🇰🇷 etc. (1/3)

Japanese travelers are definitely a minority. The popular places are adapting quickly: In #Hakone, even the bus drivers speak some English. On the other hand, staff in a traditional ryokan do not know the basics about Japanese sake 🍶 - they are foreigners too. (2/3)

When new technology actually is a step backwards: checking in at @cathaypacific new automated counters at @taoyuanairport takes longer than before and the queue is longer too. Back to the drawing board so-called premium airlines!

#Australien's Streitkräfte sollen schlagkräftiger werden. Dazu investiert die Regierung in die heimische Rüstungsindustrie und baut seine Raketen- und Munitionsproduktion aus – so will es #China auf Distanz halten. Mein Artikel in der @NZZ nzz.ch/international/ruestun…

It is getting very windy here in Taipei with the arrival of typhoon #KongRey. Surprisingly, the airports are still open. But CAL5896 just made a go-around in TPE, EVA191 a SECOND turn-around at TSA.
