Japan

"It'll be so foreign we'll become closer as a family."

The first thing I glimpse when I step off the plane is a Starbucks.
I wanted traditional green tea in a bowl.
Not in a plastic cup like at home.

Why is there a McDonalds
Right across the street from a fresh sushi restaurant,
The fresh shrimp swimming in the window.
It doesn't belong there.

Through the narrow streets of Shibuya
all I see is H&M and Gap.
I can get those at home.

Is the world slowly becoming the same?
What about 20, 30, 40 years from now?

Motives have switched from appreciation to greed.
From preservation to money.

They need to change,
Or we will all blend into one.
