whooray! since I am leaving for outside of the country in a month, I start taking picture with people that I love.
My friend Nazare invited me for this party with other french folks.
She is an amazing excavator of new restaurants, bars, izakayas...etc.
Foreigners living in Tokyo sometime know so much more about Tokyo than I do. I always feel like I am some kind of ignorance or idiot! I might have taken Tokyo for granted till at age of 29.

what is Tokyo for me? Lot of foreigners choose Tokyo for their life stage. They come across this simple question at some point of their life here.
I have never given thought about it, but it might be interesting to try.. funny thing is that I have to really try to think abut it. The answer will not come out of my mouth without hassle.

Tokyo is exciting and no such a place in the world, caotic but order, new but old. There tradition and cutting edge coexist and do not kill each other.
Tokyo is in the midst of such contradiction,chaos and confusion,which is very clear to anyone. then what is Tokyo for me???
woops...do not know......

what is Tokyo for you?


さすがに全部を日本語では訳せないから、でも日本の友達にも読んで色々書いてもらえたらなーと思うのでー。
フランス人のナザレとあうときはなぜかいつも下北沢なんだけど、ほんとに店をよくしっている!
驚いてしまう。私はなんて無知なんだ!!と悲しくなるくらいに、日本に住んでいる外国人って東京をよく知っているんだよね。
通りの名前とか、安くて美味しい店とか。最近気に入っている店は彼らの口コミばかり。
東京って恐ろしいスピードで変遷している。とにかくボケーとしってたら飲まれる。なんかあのあれ、ほら千と千尋の神隠しのクチナシだっけ??を思い出す。空恐ろしいっていうか。
人生の大半を過ごしてきた私にとってもやっぱり変!って町なのに、外国人にとっては、一体なんなの??ってはなしだとおもうんだよね。でも日本に住んでいたら一度はぶつかる質問だとおもう。”自分にとっての東京って?”
これを書きながらもう、いろいろ考えてみたけどわからない。。
この移り変わりのなかで常に混乱と、混沌と、矛盾の中にいるのは確かだけど、自分にとってってきかれたらちょっとわかんないんだよねー。。
あなたにとっての東京はどんな場所ですか?

I wrote a haiku to describe how I feel:

東京と
私の心
ここにある

So, no 2 page comments. The above 17 morae are all I need to say.

I wrote it about a month ago.

I just felt inspired one day to describe how I felt about Tokyo and how I feel it is my real home.

Thank you for your support!
