The convention days goes on. So right after the Fantasy Basel event, I took some days off so that I could go to the Dokomi in Düsseldorf. It was my first convention in Germany and I already heard a lot about this event, but I have never been there so far. This year was my first time! My darling joined me and I could book a nice offer with flight and stay at the Nikko Hotel, which was excellent, not only because of the hotel itself, but also because it lays right in the middle of my favourite part of Düsseldorf – in “Japan Town” (Immermannstrasse). Compared to other European countries, you will find the most percentage of Japanese people living in Düsseldorf. If you visit the restaurants, more than half of the people are Japanese! Before we spend our day at Dokomi (stay tuned for the next post), we had some days free to go shopping, we also did a bit of sightseeing at the famous touristic spots and in the afternoon we hang out at the pool of the Nikko Hotel – the view was lovely up here.

After the Dokomi event (on Sunday) we were supposed to fly back home, but Kyary Pamyu Pamyu started her World Tour and I realised that she was doing a concert in Cologne (which is not far away from Düsseldorf) exactly two days after the day we actually wanted to go home. She skipped her World Tour in 2017 (which I can understand because of the terror attacks in Europe) and I didn’t want to wait another year until she comes back. Luckily, I could take some more days off so that I could book an additional hotel for our stay in Cologne and a train ticket back to Switzerland. The concert was awesome – I will post about it soon.
