First day in Japan

After living the wild nature life in Kauai lately, it was almost a shock to face Tokyo with more than 35 million people in the greater area. Everything seems to circulate around huge spending sprees and who’s having the most expensive bag and working the longest hours. Always been a city girl myself, the reaction against the whole idea of what a place like this is about, is kind of overwhelming. You know the feeling when you're in a large crowd and you feel lonelier than ever? I don't think I ever felt as lonely as I do now. It doesn't bother me travelling on my own, or being alone for that matter, it's just something about this many people in one place...it definitely puts things in perspective. What are they looking for? What are they spending their money on? More stuff? So they have to work even harder? It’s like a vicious circle you can’t get out of once inside. Well…I guess it’s the same in all big city’s around the globe. It's just...the contrast coming here from the Pacific is a bit extreme, and my jetlag probably makes me a bit sensitive…
