TADAKENの「世界なんでも見てやろう」（１）＜6/18～6/21、初夏の上海市内をぶらぶら散歩＞

2013年6月18日～21日、初夏の上海市内を散策。
東京と同じく都会的な高層ビルと隣合わせに古いアパート群がたくさん並ぶ。
道路脇で将棋に興じる人々、活気のある路地裏の屋台通り、
クリーンな地下鉄で和やかにお喋りし、新天地を闊歩する若者、
中高年は早朝と夜に、近所の広場で太極拳と社交ダンス！
6月で30℃を超える蒸し暑さで、服装は男女ともに短パン姿が多い！
若い女子も飾り気ない素朴なオシャレが基本だけど、屈託ない笑顔でよく喋る姿が素敵。
21日の夜、成田空港から都内へ移動する電車内で、
「ゆるキャラ」「スマホゲームアプリ」などバーチャルな娯楽の広告が幅を利かせる
日本の今を、私は率直に上海の今と重ねて、複雑な想いを抱いた。

I stayed in Syanghai from June 18th to 21st.
I walked around near the Shanghai station and 新天地,backstreet foodmarket etc..
There are lots of very high building and suprisingly very old apartment for living.
People play Chinese chess on the street and come together at backstreet foodmarket talking loudly with natural amile.
I saw many young people in the subway and 新天地 after 6 pm, they looks enjoying their private time after school and job with vitality.
On the other hand, middle and old aged people gathered in the plaza playing "taijiquan" in the early morning and "social dancing" in the evening cherrfully and confidently.
It was very hot and humid in Shanghai, over 30℃ in June!
People wear shorts including young ladies. Their fashon is also plain but talking a lot with big smiling so that they looks so charming.
Anyway, I like this city because people are talking a lot everywhere with big smiling more than Tokyo.I got more interest in asian countries through this trip.
