Fatim, Cenerentola nel 2000

Capitolo 1 - Due sorelle particolari

Estoy en Toledo. Quiero descubrir esta ciudad que esconde a otra. No solo la parte monumental y no solo el Toledo diurno. No, también quiero saber del Toledo nocturno, mágico y misterioso... que ha sido muy importante para esta hermosa ciudad.

Mucha gente viene aquí desde la capital con un tren rápido a pasar unas horas, visita lo recomendable y después regresa a Madrid con un “souvenir” medieval ya que con el tren de RENFE - Media Distancia se tardan solamente unos 35 minutos. Es decir, menos que un metro entre punta y punta de la capital. Eso hace que esta ciudad histórica se convierta en “comida rápida de los estómagos turísticos” y para mí, es un tremendo error. Tremendo.

こんにちは。

今回は「どうして日本人はみんないっしょに」が好きなのかについて。

私が見つけた答えをお話します。みんなが思っていた答えと同じでしょうか。近いでしょうか。全然違うでしょうか。
