Random J in Japan: The national sport
Thursday 7 May 2009 @ 6:20 pm | By Random J 9 Comments
This is one of Japanese’s unique national sports, and a regular sight on Japanese trains. There is no place you won’t find a Japanese person K.O’d. In the street slumped against a lamppost, in shopping malls, in restaurants and eateries, even on train platforms. Anywhere is fair game to look dead and completely out of it.
The Japanese work hard and party hard, so it’s only fair they get to sleep hard too. It’s something you don’t ever really get used to, because each day you’ll find somebody looking more dead and K.O’d in a more uncomfortable position than the last. Only in Japan could young lady be sat on her own in a train carriage fast asleep with her handbag and mouth wide open, and there be a minimal chance of her getting mugged or raped. Gotta love the safety.
God continue to bless Japan.

Maybe its in the genes. My uncle Victor Kenji used to get asleep at waiting lines in the bank, STANDING UP, at Guadalajara. I am used to cuddle up in a ball and sleep at small spaces, or sleep in anything that is flat enough. Grandma and some of my uncles get asleep in anything that has cushion-like surfaces!
i always doze off in the cab ride to work and back, i think my body is already accustomed, i tend to wake up 2 blocks before i have to get off xD
I’m the same. No matter when I fall asleep on a bus journey home, I’ll always wake up a couple of stops before mine.
But the people I saw asleep on the trains in Japan actually looked DEAD to the point where I wondered if they’d even wake up in time for their stop. I’d always get off before them; so never got to see if they’d casually wake up and get off the train at their stop, or wake up in a fit of disbelief because they missed it. *lol*
*LOL!!* :D
Yes, yes, let’s keep that blessing going! LOL!
Here here! :D
Head down, hands together Estelle. Let’s keep the blessings going!
Maybe I’ve just watched too many movies where something bad happens in a subway, but I don’t think I could doze off, let alone sleep on a subway train.
oh, me either, buses and cabs are one thing.. here we don’t have a subway system in this city, but I’ve heard many a ghastly story about the system at the country’s capital xD
Or in L4D’s subways.
