A World City Tour in Faded Memories (Color)
 |
Description
Book Introduction
During my short study abroad period in Brussels, I was able to travel to many European countries.
On the quiet canals of Bruges, the night streets of Rome, and the cobblestone streets of Florence, I met those cities, felt my way through them, and encountered myself.
Most of the other cities in other countries are places I visited like a 'trip' during my spare time on business trips.
I loosened my tie and looked up at the evening sky of Yangon, reflected in the golden pagoda, with the eyes of a traveler, or wandered through the back alleys of Bangkok in light clothing.
The foreign cities that we briefly pass through like that often shake the hearts of travelers with their unfamiliar appearance and give them unexpected emotions.
This book contains fragments of cities I've encountered while traveling or on business trips, scenes that have permeated my emotions, and fragments of thoughts that suddenly popped into my head.
