Guess what!? I have finally gotten out from the little town that I used to live and actually went to the middle of tokyo where all the people are and where Gwen Stefani fantacizes. Yes! I went to shinjyuku, Shibuya, Roppongi and saw Tokyo tower and also saw only saw Harajyuku from a distance.
It was great. the chaos. I actually liked Shibuya.
It is indeed, as people say, over packed and busy you might get sick.
But young people who gets easily high with brain-made adrelanin can take it.
The Shibuya station was packed. Look in your right, a girl is getting sick while on your left, there is a massive photoshoot for a girls magazine.
So, what did I do?
I went to see the Cassina Exhibition and to a contemporary arts exhibition. I went to see two.
Cassina was great. All the furniture spoke for itsself. No explanation needed. Just pure time-less stuff from the 50-70s. You need a week to study and see everything. Just pure timeless things. I was amazed how human can create those nice things in their intangible brain.
But the other contemporary one was just strange.
I mean, you really don't get anything until you get your hands on one of those walky-talky-type machine that explains the works.
So, me without one of those, just tried to feel the art. But failed.
You can't get inspired by just listening to a sound that sounds like a PSP or refridgerator getting electricuted.
And by the end of the day, I was so excited that I couldn't go to sleep for a long time. Maybe the Krispy cream doughnuts's over grazed grazed doughnuts did their trick to make me excited.
But literally, Tokyo maybe one of the places you need to go once in your life while you are still young.
I will list some foods I ate at the city.

Jean paul Hevin's chocolate.
One little piece of chocolate and a 3cm macaron costs ¥700($7)
All time fashionista's favorite, Dean and Deluca
TOKYO TOWER!woop
Roppongi mid town. A grad school Korean lady told me that
it took 15years to create the building.
15years of THINKING. THINKING.
How many people do that?
But they should be happy since the building is absolutely wonderful.
Enough of playing.
I need to concentrate on my works and studies.
Having fun as usual at school though. It just gets more interesting
and interesting.
What I didn't realize is that I'm doing 3times more work than anyother student in my department.
wooo

Hi, Uma! Yes I used to think Tokyo is so exciting and fun when I was your age living there, although there were no Mid-town building and crispy doghnuts! By the way they are glazed doghnuts; doghnuts don't eat grasses:) I am glad you are discovering Tokyo. Have fun and enjoy your life.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see that you finally left your little suburb for a taste of the city. Tokyo is of course not just any city. It is like New York, Paris or London, a world center. So enjoy it! And speaking of taste: Next time try the Pierre Herme's chocolate or cakes - although the cost will be no cheaper than Jean Paul Hevin's. Even NY, LA London and Rome do not have one of his stores. They call him the Picasso of Patisserie!
