A la platja....a Tokyo! - To the beach...in Tokyo!

Doncs sí a Tokyo també hi ha platja, o més aviat una espècie de platja pels "domingueros". Diumenge en tenia mono però com que em vaig llevar tard per anar a la costa vaig decidir anar a Odaiba, les illes artíficials que hi ha a la badía de Tokyo, tenia curiositat per veure quanta gent hi hauria doncs segons m'havíen comentat al Japó l'estiu s'acaba a finals d'agost, aquelles coses no escrites però que semblen tenir gran efecte...i efectivament va ser així, una platja on una setmana enrere no hi cabia ni una agulla estava gairebé buida, si no fós per un grup de nens que feien esports hauria tingut uns aires ben peculiars, envoltat de tota la massa urbana de Tokyo trobar-te en soledat doncs home, peculiar si més no...al final doncs vaig gaudir d'un dia de platja excel.lent i no per la qualitat, però el fet de cremar-te els peus amb la sorra, sentir l'escalfor del sol o l'aigua salada...això fa estiu, encara que sigui setembre! 


Yes there is a beach in Tokyo, or rather a sort of beach for lazy people from Tokyo that don't want to go out. On Sunday I fancied to go to the beach but as I woke up quite late I couldn't go to the coast and finally went to Odaiba, the artificial islands in the Tokyo bay, I was curious to see how many people would be there since I've heard that in Japan summer ends in late August, I guess these are those kind of unwritten rules that seems to have great effect??...and it really was, a beach that perhaps one week ago would be crowded of people this last weekend was almost empty. The view was somehow particular, an empty beach in the middle of this huge urban...so at the end I enjoyed of great day of beach, and not especially for the quality but just feeling the sand burning the feet, the warmth of the sun or the water salad taste, deserved it...this is summer, even though it is already September!

això és Japó...un gos amb salvavides! / this is Japan...a dog with  a life jacket!
