開会式行進とパーソナルスペース
国ごとの文化、特徴を表した衣装も気になったけれど、国ごとに行進中の人の間隔にばらつきがあるのも気になった。そうでなくても人数が多いのに、やたらと間隔があいているアメリカ合衆国と結構間を詰めて行進している日本が連続して入ってきたので余計そう思えたのだろうかーーーそしてやっぱり列を乱していたのはスペインーーそこがスペインの好きなところだけれど...i viva españa! イスラエルはしばらく会場に入れずに立ち往生していましたね)。
Last night, I was waiting for a bus at Shibuya Station listening to the tunes of street musicians playing near the bus stop. After two songs, she folded her score notes and halted. Just then another street musician standing about 20 ft away from here started playing. I've noticed these two were taking turns to play their music.
At first, I wondered why these two don't stand further away so both can be playing at the same time. But then I've noticed the girl has always been playing at the same spot at least on every Thursday. She has her own spot where all her fans gather around. I don't remember seeing the other guy but perhaps, it was his spot.
Seeing these two and imagining how they have made this protocol reminded me of how I've iChatted with my friend over an iSight.
