If you want to SCAR YOURSELF FOREVER, try catching the last train for the night from Tokyo. You haven't lived until you've had a middle-aged businessman reeking of beer SPOONING you on the train. He was not flirting. Riding a Japanese train during rush hour means YOU WILL SPOON SOMEONE. One image still burns in my mind. While waiting to transfer, Abby and I saw a train that was insanely packed with people. I'm talking distorted faces and bodies in business suits pressed against the windows. The train looked like it was bulging. When the doors opened, people EXPLODED out of the trains like tiny clowns tumbling out of a circus car. Abby couldn't stop laughing.
To know Yangblog is to never know when I am telling the truth or full of crap.
Check out this video during rush hour in Japan.
Believe me now?

That is completely INSANE! I would go into panic mode.
At some point someone had to say "We should have more frequent trains" and someone else said, "No, let's hire an army of trained smooshers who spend a minute and a half cramming people into the trains." Are there people sitting comfortably in the middle of the cars, or are there no seats, or are people just on each other like stacked firewood?
