TOKYO







Words…I can write one million words to express what Tokyo represented to me. As you already know, one of my remote dreams was Japan. And I felt so happy to find that the western Idea of Japanese people being cold, automatic, self cantered, distant, arrogant and not nice is completely wrong. I met on the streets, parks, subways and trains and just round the most respectful kind and courteous people I have ever seen in my life. In fact, the complexity of Japanese etiquette remains from their religious background of the Zen Buddhism but also the Shinto. People smile and say hello without knowing you even in the capital Tokyo. There is always a look for you bowed with the head. Every detail was almost perfect!
