What if...? Part 1
What if someone throws up in the train? I have thought about it a few times and I’m quite sure it must happen every day somewhere in Tokyo. It is inevitably and you can’t really avoid the situation. A sick person, a drunken person or just an accident.
I asked a few Japanese friends and all of them had been in a train where someone threw up (never been hit luckily). Their advice to me was: don’t stand too close to really drunk people in the trains (quite hard since the Yamanote line always is crowded). I wonder if that advice includes my friends on a Saturday night as well... ;)
PS. Today’s topic was decided this morning. I had a delicious lunch with my co-workers and there is absolutely no connection between today’s lunch and today’s blog. Just to let you know. :)
