Toyko
's a week since I arrived in Tokyo, and I leave next Friday. After repeated harassment and pressures more or less acceptable, I present Tokyo: Tokyo
is one of those marvels of humankind. One of these megacities where the constant excitement of the neon night replace the sun of the day. One of these monsters and hungry insomniac, where convinient stores stay open 24/24 and 7 / 7, where the biggest brands and glow spread over entire buildings, and where every neighborhood is a city full . Huge street out of sight, enclosed by skyscrapers decorated with advertisements of small alleys form the scar tissue of the densified to a climax. The teeming humanity there, work, eat, buy, sell, courses, live in the streets. So many people, so many stores covered by an anonymous crowd gave the impression that they have taken up residence.
Its population is a reflection of his city: A nest clean, organized, but exuberant: If adults are treated, and parent walk right costume or suits, asserting their children by drawing on styles as various unusual. If you meet a few women in kimono, it is more common to see real gothic rockers or characters straight out of anime.
Tokyo is in balance, as reflected in its architecture where the Shinto temples adjoin the buildings. Its inhabitants are constructed identity, in search of the limits of your outfit or makeup. Indeed, here is the most special city the world where we do not always speak English when wind Starbucks mochas green tea (too sweet), and where the alleys exude a fragrance of soba for all fast food. Japan is a sponge that soaks everything that the international scene has to offer, but it shows a liquid sweetened its ancestral values.
