I wonder how often it used to happen that you’d have your trousers rolled down. Or others. These days they’re often in the news for taking photos up people’s skirts – so we Japanese aren’t exactly well-behaved, or perhaps it’s just that what’s forbidden is actually what people do. Last Monday I was also travelling regularly by train, and I don’t mind waiting around, except when it’s always on those draughty platforms. And, of course, the waiting rooms are always closed. Over here, incidentally, all the platforms are draughty, and lifts and escalators are often out of order – whether by design or not.
Do you miss Japan? It was certainly interesting to read, and I think you had a nice route – packed in like a sardine – to be able to admire all the cosplayers and Disney characters. Did you have a cup of coffee in a takeaway cup with you back then as well?
I think perverts are everywhere. There will be individuals of that sorts, maybe traumatized or deprived of something. And especially so in asian countries where the cultures are closed.
Ooo.. are you Japanese Kitty? Ah draughty platforms means they are cold? Cold wind? Mine here is hotttt but there are ceiling fans, though the humid weather doesn't help. And there are no waiting rooms here, just benches or chairs for some to sit. Most times, we just stand waiting for the train, but at most between 3 to 10 minutes, whether it is peak or non-peak hour. Ohh but in Japan then, it was October, so the weather was nice and cool.
I do miss Japan - but as a tourist because everything is pretty and cute. I don't think I can stay there though. I had the opportunity to visit Japan 3 times in my life so far and I enjoyed each trip. Once for work, once to visit a friend who was studying there and the last time was with my parents, following a tour. All 3 were very different experiences.
Hehe.. no, I didn't like coffee then. It is only just the past 2 years that I started drinking latte that I kinda like.
