Tokyo Nugget #25: Time is precision
10 Aug
I took a photo of this sign at my local station. Yeap, due to the enormous number of gropers on the train at peak hour, there’s a women-only carriage from 7.26 to 930am. I’m all for women-only cars but it starts at 7.26am? I had to chuckle.
It’s also a clue that the Japanese are sticklers for punctuality. I must say I’m eternally grateful to Japan for curing my seemingly incorrigible habit of being late. Coming from Singapore, where things are more relaxed and easy-going, I used to regard time as fluid which has its good and bad points — spontaneity versus flakiness.
What I love in Japan is that you can pretty much count on people and things to turn up on time.

Yeah, I just don’t get how turned on chikans are by copping a feel in a sardine-like crush. I guess it’s their “thing”.
