I keep thinking I'm going to do this uberpost each day, but I get bogged down with work or something at the office. Well, today's uberpost was supposed to be a video, but my short sightedness and inability to make sure something actually copied to my iPod left be bereft of options. SO!

Instead of the usual cute commentary, I bring you a simple 90 second video of what it's like to be stuck in a train station in Japan. I was waiting for the 3:00 train to arrive from Osaka with Fenris on it since he flew into Osaka airport.



This is Kyoto Station, which is A LOT smaller and a lot less crowded than Tokyo Station. But both pale in comparison to the massive clusterfuck that is Shinjuku station.

A second point I'm going to attempt to prove in this post is the favorite past time of the average train rider in Japan.

Sleeping. I don't know how you can come to explicitly trust your inner clock or even the people around you to betray you in some fashion, but in Japan, it is TOTALLY safe and normal to just pass out on the train while proceeding to your destination.

Have some downtime for 10 stops? Get some shuteye! You need the rest for your long nights of drinking and 15 hour workdays. Plus you won't get any sleep this weekend because of the lolicon convention that's coming this Saturday. You have to PREPARE!!!


He's not into the music he's listening to, I promise.


Not staring at her umbrella.


Actually this guy was distraught he couldn't get tickets to go see Oshiri Kajiri Mushi performed live



I'd be upset about it too.

Have a great weekend!
