The Young, The Old, and The One In Between!

One location, two photos, three generations. These two photos were taken in Asakusa temple, a famous tourist spot, in Tokyo, Japan. They uniquely portray the three generations currently controlling Japan. The second photos shows the intereaction between the young and restless and the older generation of Japanese woman. The way they dress and their body language sum the past and the future of Japan. As if she said I've done my parts, and now it's yours and he said well I know I can build Japan for a better future, but only if I didn't screw up.

The first photo shows the active adult in Japan. It is their duty to help Japan do whatever it needs to keep improving for the future. He said I know I can focus on my job to build Japan as I focus to shoot this thing on my camera. His eyes tell us how it is hard to be the backbone of Japanese culture, economy, and its way of life.

Five People You Meet in Japan!

Five people you will meet in Japan. From a businessman who obsesses with Baseball. The man in the first photo was watching a baseball game in a TV in an electronic store during The World Baseball Game. It was Japan V Korea.

The second people you will find quite a lot in Japan are those who do not care with their surroundings. Based on the population, you probably will meet around 100 new different people everyday, but I don't think they interact with each other. They live as individuals, the only thing common between them is that they live in Japan.

The third photo shows a rare occasion, find an obese person on the street. I think Japan is the healthiest place on Earth. The eat fish on a daily basis. Junk foods exist there, but I rarely see queue on one of those places. And their version of fast food is faster than the Western version of it, and it is healthier. Fast food means you eat a bowl of noodle soup or a bowl of rice while you are standing. They usually only serve one kind of food. Fast means fast.

The fourth image shows a young Japanese man. A common view in Japan, but I assure you that you will always put your eyes on them every time you see them, it's either they dress freaking weirdly or they dress simply weird.

The last image shows an old woman prays in a temple. A common view for tourist who put temples on their schedule. But this one looks like an angle comes down to this woman. A bright light makes her looks angelic.

Lights and People!

It was easy to count how many days I spent in Japan, it was 15 days. But, to count how many times I had to struggle with this kind of environment, bright lights and people of Tokyo, I've lost my count since day 2. This is Tokyo as I see it.
