15 minutes of observation can be very long, especially when the stories pretty small.

I remember in an pacific island of Vanuatu, there was thatch roof bed
room of the old man in the village, which is also the store for
peanuts in the community that you don't use money much. I remember the
the store in the village school, where there were a few can of tin
fishes and some instant noodles. Those design of environment is the
natural blue sky, green grasses and the friendly smiles of the
communities members.

I was in a family owned store of my neighborhood, I mingled different pieces of my memory and they are selling more or less the similar stuff.

The pattern of the setting of the store and the store, from the
village to a department store .. then to taobao.com the online store,
has a purpose. What are the values behind the stores?

Stores and exchange in the market place, can be really cultural.

Asking questions before we observe can be very important. However, shall we observe with a purpose or without a purpose. How do our perception and senses drive our purpose and/or distract us?

There is consistence in the setting.

It is important to have the association of different areas in the same domains. In this case, those are:environment, personnel,customer and product.

Heavily commercialized chain store impersonalized human relationship.
Unfortunately, the trend of impersonation keep spreading and urbanizing the rural.
What are people looking for to exchange can worry us and we see our shifting of the value away good and moral.

Creativity is put what we sense and perceive together . What are the
patterns and arrange of all these pieces in a schema in a schema. The
sense of certain color scheme and the meaning or feeling is mystical
or magical.

What I have been missing is that I have been too busy moving and didn't spend enough time to be a still observer. As consultant and trainer, I have been busy for talking and giving advise and I'm glad
that I'm focusing more on listening. It's more important to listen not by ears, but eyes and other senses.

Be presence to participate or be away to observe beyond the scenario are both important.

Can shopping sharpen our imagination and improve our creativity?
Certainly, all are more creative than we can imagine. We create intentionally and unintentionally. How can we make our creativity productive is the question? And what are the values, benefits and outcomes of the productivity.

Are we exchanging for better or for worse?

Observation can creativity can certainly go beyond the stores and every part of our daily life in our family, schools, working environment and all different kind of settings.
Curiosity and the desire of knowing more about the outside world drive us to be more creative and explore for the new horizons.
