The end of humanity
You have to be as calm as a Hindu cow to survive some train journeys in Tokyo. Do you think you could put up with this kind of treatment on a daily basis without going mental?

Hate the trains. Where I grew up, people don’t lean on other people to take naps. But that’s just me.
One time when I was riding the train, pretty much every yahoo was blaring dance-pop on iPods using those wretched bud-type headphones that let your neighbors join in on listening to what’s currently on your playlist. Then I realized with a start that one guy — typically salaryman, leaning against the door, really hating-on-life look on his face — was listening to something different. I leaned in to get a better listen … and had to immediately stifle laughter.

Guilty of being white!? LOL

I have gotten used to the trains in Tokyo, but it took some time. What gets me is how cold, depressed, and angry some people can be on the train. A lot of people will throw you a dirty look so fast for just giving them a quick glance.
