Résumé:
For a considerable period of time, looking at things has been considered a form of work. Visiting famous buildings and thinking about various things, looking for western-style buildings secretly hidden away in towns and investigating their origins, as well as writing about such thoughts and opinions, have become an occupation. This is what the «professional watcher» does.
