National Art Center Tokyo 國立新美術館

I went to catch the Van Gogh exhibition today. Although it is a Friday, the exhibition was packed with many retirees, housewives and tourists! I forgot that Japan, with an aging population, has a lot of  retirees with lots of free time and money to spend. I didn't have a great time there because people were hogging in front of apparently hit paintings with their hearing guides (costing 500yen rental each, only available in Japanese).
今天去看了一下Van Gogh的展覽。雖然是星期五，但是展覽擠滿了退休人士，家庭主婦和觀光客！我忘了日本現在人口老化中，有很多老人有大壩的時間和金錢可以花。因為他們有花500yen租只有日文版的hearing guide（聲音機？），所以都卡在熱門作品的前面不動，氣死我了。

Anyway I caught a glimpse of paintings from famous Impressionist painters such as Claude Monet, Sisley and Gauguin. Numerous Van Gogh sketches were also on exhibit. However for 1200yen and a crowded exhibition, it is not worth the visit imho.
總而言之，也看到著名抽象派畫家如Monet, Sisley和Gauguin的油畫。Van Gogh的插圖也有展出。但是付了1200yen擠來擠去對我來說是不划算的。

Japanese love to make merchandises out of anything. I bought a small jar of macorons which I'll bring home next week to share with my family. I also won a small pen brush while looking at a calligraphy exhibition, not bad, at least some consolation for the day.
日本人都很喜歡把任何東西商業化。我也受不了誘惑，買了一瓶macarons。下週帶回家和家人一起分享。我也在一個書畫展裡抽中了一隻免費小毛筆，所以今天還過得去啦！
