The building Toyotires

There are weeks in which I come five days to be employed to the office at bike, it is not the normal thing because if I go to Karate I have to take a train because it catches me far, so the bike sleeps in the office and I return with her on the following day that Capoeira touches. We go, that I begin every Monday with many happiness and when Friday is coming I raise the slopes three times more slowly because my legs do not go a long way any more.

Yesterday, that was a Monday, was one day of those of going rapidly, and it coincided that I put myself the pants of many pockets. This fact is important, an eye, because if I take these pants, I get the small photos camera there in a leg and I feel like taking photos to everything what I am for the way.

It was stopped in a semaphore opposite the this building of the letters Toyotires when I felt like taking a photo of him. It is a building of these of thousand housings with the front full of balconies that more looks like a beehive that a house, not porqué is the image that I have of Benidorm and that that I have never been. The letters that he was saying are above completely and it puts “Toyotires“, that I suppose that there will be wheels made by Toyota, but that equal it has not anything in common. They are ancient, of that they are not already seen that when they are illuminated in the night it seems that we are ten years behind.

Well, it was taking photos from the verge of the highway making use of the break of the semaphore when someone speaks to me from the sidewalk, I turn myself and he was a gentleman major enough who was taking a curious baseball cap:

- To what are you extracting? - he says to me smiling
- Ah, to the building that one big of the publicity letters
- Then do you already know the history?
- Eh, not, it does not even design
- Since it turns out that this building is that of housings of this more ancient style of Shinagawa, that it has more than 50 years and that they it go to derruir to construct the new one. If you notice, there are two blocks of hundred apartments each one: do you see them?, there are ten balconies high for ten wide one to every side.
- It walks, it is true, since it did not have does not even design
- If, since they have already said to them that they have to evict and almost nobody stays living, the whole world has already moved. That's why I have seen you doing photos and have thought that you knew that they were going to throw it and that you wanted to have a memory. Notice that almost there are no stretched clothes, only in a few balconies.
- It is true! so, he did not know anything, but it looks like to me a curious topcoat for the letters and that's why …
- Since less evil that you have extracted, because soon we will not see it never again
- If, less evil, coincidence goes …
- Oh, he excuses, I am entertaining you and the semaphore is already in green
- Not not, not not at all at all, it has seemed very interesting to me, thank you very much
- Of nothing, it sees carefully




And I think that it is an apartment house without much ado, that the history is not anything of another world either but that I have lived through a moment so of daily, so common life, that it turned out to be gratifying to me precisely that's why, for the ordinary thing. Because the man did not ask me from which it was coming, that was not even doing in his country, where he nor was living … only wanted to tell me the history of the building of Toyotires.
