The truth is that I've been locked in the library and I have not had time to start my exploration of this city. Today I have a walk around Tokyo Midtown is a shopping complex which is halfway between the Wars and London's most exclusive galleries. Nothing to do with the bustle of malls Filipinos have already been discussed in this blog. Remember that I said that Manila is basically 'window shopping', families strolling and "throwing" the day the 'mall'. Not spent much, if anything for the children and food more or less expensive depending on whether there is something to celebrate or not. Today in Tokyo I found that not that it is essentially 'window shopping' what people do, is that one can hardly do otherwise. There are many bakeries, almost all with a "touch" or French name, that look more like high-fashion boutiques. Watches, jewelry with dizzying prices. Hardware overestimating the product. And other various shops of all kinds, but always within an order very Japanese. Here there was only noise on a plot of grass (which could hardly see the green) before the Oktoberfest (what a good marketing around the world have made the Germans of that party!). Anyway, I have to let go taking my baby steps here. I leave you with a photograph of a shelf in the small section that we have in the library, which is where I spent more hours for now on Hispanic issues in Japanese.
