Shibuya crossing

"Shibuya crossing" - A pedestrian crossing in the elegant commercial district of Shibuya in an incipient sunset. I was therefore surprised by the density of the population which is equal to its self-control and education. Seeing this photo today in times of social distancing makes a little smile ... However for us Westerners it would be bitter to smile! Because they, the Japanese, are one of the nations least affected by Covid despite having a population density unthinkable for us. Discipline and sense of responsibility ... quite another matter for Europeans or in the USA! Then ... look at the asphalt. See paper, waste, cigarette butts! Yet millions of people pass through this street every day ... Ahh! How far away is Japan!
