08 October A little thougt this evening..."Chieko said there is no sky in Tokyo..." so begins his famous poem by Kotaro Takamura.
Coming back to Tokyo after spending two years in Taiwan, every morning I feel like saying "there is no words in Tokyo."
In a big metropolitan city like Tokyo, commuting to work is such a mechanical and impersonal affair;
"Summimasen" I say, as I manage to find the last bit of space in a full packed train....then no one says anything, not even a word.
"Sumimasen" I say as I catch an elevetor on the way, but like all the other mornings, I receive no reply.
Since when did people stop talking?
Its just a word of courtesy, but there seems to be none in Tokyo.
