WE'LL SURVIVE THESE TWO WEEKS! - One More Vacation with the Parents

  • The hit journey of André Herrmann and his parents continues: this time, they’re taking on Japan!
  • 40,000 copies sold of his previous title Schön war’s, aber nicht nochmal.

“Your father is already planning the next trip,” my mother explains.
“That’s what I feared,” I sigh into the phone.
“Japan would be great!” my father shouts from the background.

They say you should quit while you’re ahead. But what do you do when your father gets a new smartphone and doesn’t realize that clicking a button labeled “Book Now” actually means ... booking? Before they know it, a significant amount of money vanishes from the parental bank account, and three non-refundable flight tickets to Tokyo land in the mailbox.
Forced into action, the Herrmann family sets off for one more shared vacation - this time to the Land of the Rising Sun. What follows is two weeks of pure culture shock and a rigorous test for Japanese hospitality. Whether André’s father gets tangled up in a Sumo wrestler’s belt or his mother suddenly disappears while driving a Mario Kart through the streets of Tokyo, one thing is certain: when the Herrmanns show up and try to act “normal,” the exact opposite usually happens.
