The eighties are here, the standard of living has risen, and nearly all the low Japanese-style houses have turned into skyscrapers. Coffee shops that strive for swankiness and oriental teahouses that strive for ambience appear constantly; there seems to be one on every street. Only the Astoria remains unchanged.
進入八十年代，國家富庶了，人民的生活提高了，昔日矮小的日式平房，幾全翻修成高樓大廈，講究氣派的咖啡館和講求氣氛情調的東方式茶藝館也不斷地誕生，幾乎每一條街巷都有，唯數十年如一日，明星幾無所改變。
