André Herrmann — Another vacation with parents

After his SPIEGEL bestseller “Nice was it, but not again”, which went straight into the SPIEGEL bestseller list and lasted there for 19 weeks, André Herrmann is bringing his family back on stage.

“Your father is already planning the next trip,” my mother explains.

“I was afraid of that,” I say on the phone.

“I would like Japan! “My father shouts from the background.

Actually, you should stop when it's best. But what to do if the father has a new mobile phone and doesn't know that clicking on the button that says “Book” actually means you're booking? And a short time later, a lot of money disappears from the parental account, suddenly three flight tickets to Tokyo end up in the mailbox, which unfortunately cannot be exchanged? Then all you can say to yourself is: “We'll get over the two weeks already! ”.

The Herrmann family is therefore forced to set off on vacation together once again, only this time to the Land of the Rising Sun. Two weeks of extreme culture shock and an ordeal for Japanese hospitality. Whether André's father buys almost 250 kilos of tuna fish or his mother suddenly disappears while driving Mario karts through Tokyo, it's clear: When the Herrmann family shows up and tries to behave normally, the exact opposite usually happens.
