Many many years ago when i was still growing up i watched lost in translation. I saw scarlett Johansen sitting on a ledge in Tokyo, gazing out, waiting for something to happen. This is an image that has been with me over the years. The movie captured the loneliness and despair in the ever expansiveness of a world where you are a nobody with such passion and truth.
Years on i am that business traveller. Over the years i have always thought of that ledge and sat on many a hotel window gazing out. It was never the same.
Now here i am in Tokyo, on my ledge, gazing out, feeling like time has turned still. Its calming and distrubing at the same time.
