Tokyo, Japan

Coming back to Japan after spending almost eight months abroad, things here seem different to me now.
I'm feeling things differently, thinking differently.

Here people seem very materialistic, I mean, more than before.
Advertisements are so pervasive in public sphire that it seems almost impossible not to let them enter my eyes and brain.
Everybody who passes by me at train stations dresses up very nicely.
Most of the young women wearing make-ups, wearing tight jeans, and tight high peeled boots.
They seem very identical.
Most of the men are in suits looking very uncomfortable.
I have to ask myself a question, "are they serious???", "is this real???", "why???"
Everybody looks so "perfect" but I can see tiredness and unhappiness in their faces.

I need to try extra hard not to let myself and my spirit taken away, and to stay positive and myself.
It's so depressing to go to the busy central Tokyo area.
I need to keep away from here...sigh.
