Just as the locals do it


This morning i went for a wonder in downtown Tokyo and while all was commuting to and from work. I sucked into a local cafe and ordered a coffee and a toasted sandwich containing a tiny serving of salad, egg and tomato. I sat down facing the window in the non smoking window and just people watched for a little while, enjoying following the status quo for a change.

I feel like a dag in Tokyo and that is saying something. This place is all about class and until now i thought that i did that quite well. The women immaculately dressed, perfect heels and boots, beautiful coats, designer handbags and tailored outfits with just a little bit of funk to it. Even the three women who glided past in their bicycles were decked out in an armani skirt suit and not a spot of sweat or hair strand out of place. When i say glide, yes they glided past wheras in any other place in the world you would spot a likely scene cycling away in lycra.

Sometimes its just nice to be part of a city as it wakes up and to observe the little things.

Today was about breakfast on the way to work.
