Since I've been trying to eliminate clutter from my life, I have been less inclined to buy knickknacks, trinkets, souvenirs, or really anything beyond the essentials. I will splurge on food because I can enjoy the experience without adding more stuff.
However, when I was wandering around after work, I ended up making my way into Chinatown. I had never been to that neighborhood before, so I spent a little time walking around to see what it was like.
There was stuff everywhere! I could not believe how densely those shops are packed. The jewelry stores sparkle from floor to ceiling.
My impression was that these shops were geared towards tourists. I didn't have the urge to buy anything, so I just observed from the street. But although I found the clutter of objects a little overwhelming, I couldn't help but notice the beauty of color, texture and light massed around me.
