Day 20 - Tokyo
Sitting at the table of an organic café in Harajuku, Gwen and me we're talking over a cup of tea ... The Time flies, and the night did not take long to Tokyo from his long black coat. To go to Shibuya, she advises me to take the street Cat Street ... Gwen Goodbye, see you on the net ...
Shibuya (渋 谷) is the preferred shopping area young people in Tokyo ... there are plenty of neighborhoods like this in Tokyo department stores, boutiques fashion brands ... But still THE Shibuya shibuyettes district, these young girls who come here spend a fortune every Saturday.
Well, at this late hour, the stores have already closed their doors but we still have the neon lights that illuminate the night and guide our steps. I walk the streets a little empty (it climbs a bit ... Shibuya is built on a hill), then I started looking for a restaurant ...
Emotionless face to all the excitement of the neighborhood, Hachiko Hachiko waits ... (ハチ公), c 'is a symbol of Shibuya, and it's a nice story: in the 20s, this little dog akita was accustomed to accompany his master to the station's neighborhood. This was a university professor, who died in 1925. But the little dog went every morning and every evening before returning to the station to wait for his master. This story moved him
many locals and even made the newspapers articles about Hachiko became a symbol of fidelity. A statue was erected at the spot where he had once expected each day.
strange coincidence, since that time, the statue has become a place of rendezvous, where friends come to expect before heading back to other lands.
need to wait too long, no one will join me ... Going on the road without looking back, this is the daily lonesome traveler ...
Hachiko Sayonara!
