A Look Past The Touristy Things
Whenever I go somewhere, doesn't matter if it
is 5 minutes from home, or as in this case,
10 hours from home, I tend to think outside
the box. Yes, I enjoy the scenery, the tourism
stuff and the views, but to me, a trip is about
the people I meet, or see.
Such as these artists, sitting on a Tokyo sidewalk
drawing and painting.
My mother would have been in there with pen and paper
in hand, I would have too, if I had more time.
They were drawing this:
Tokyo station.
These artists were pretty darn decent as well, the
works I saw showed years of practice, and the
skilled eyes of artists.
In front of the station was this scene:
The man in black seated with slippers on
(supplied by the man on the ground) was
having his shoes repaired while he waited.
Where do you see that these days?
