Nice shot! I love the way most Japanese commuters neatly keep their feet to themselves. :) There's always somebody who sprawls halfway across the aisle, of course, but generally speaking they tuck themselves in. Thanks, fellow commuters!
I've had many a battles with men who like to spread their knees when sitting but generally the commuters are pretty good at not bothering their neighbors :D
All of the shoes look sensible, comfortable to wear. But there are so many lace-up shoes—not so convenient for removing them (and putting them on) in the foyer at home.
I really miss the feel of tatami under my feet at home. Maybe I should get these.
Is there ever really a "late" for commenting on a post? I find it amusing/disturbin/surprising... don't really know... that visitors to a blog rarely go back to earlier posts... I digress...
I'll refrain from asking about your "foot thing", Kaori. LOL! But this subway shot of the shoes and musical instrument case is great, especially in black and white.
I miss visiting your blog... I am still in China accessing social media through a proxy, but it's sloooow and keeps crashing.
nice compo ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'll stand, there don't seem to be any seats! :-)
ReplyDeleteEveryone is always standing during rush hour in the morning because they put the seats up so there's more space in the train cart :D

DeleteI always find Japanese people so polite and orderly. I can'timagine them sitting another way!
ReplyDeleteOh you should see some drunk people on the last train...they sprawl all over the seats sometimes! Quite entertaining, too ;D
DeleteI love this - the guy with the huge guitar or cello case is funny. But the train is a lot less crowded than I've imagined Japanese trains!
ReplyDeleteWell it was in the afternoon on a weekend, not the most crowded time. The mornings on weekdays are crazy! :D
DeleteSpit and polished and orderly too!!! You'll never see that in a bus or subway in the states!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was almost as if they were posing for me :D
DeleteAnd there's even music. A wonderful picture indeeed ! Please have a good Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Robert :D

I like tatami, too :D
DeleteWow, that is a wonderful shot... a guitar and lots of sneakers... love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Madge! I really liked how the instrument was in the picture, too :D
DeleteExcellent capture, Kaori!
ReplyDeleteTHank you Louis!!!
DeleteI would hate to have to get into a set of these shoes in the genkan 玄関 if I was in a hurry to catch a train.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot - well composed!
