Yamanote’s Last Train

Last Train

The last train around 1:00 am on a Friday night (early Saturday, really) on Tokyo’s Yamanote Line is more like the salary man drunk tank. Lets analyze the photo above more closely.


A – sitting on the floor near the door, passed out
B – nodding off, might actually be coming home from the office but I doubt it
C – taking off his headphones after being startled awake by the train stopping
D – who needs shoes? (see D’)
E – taking up two seats and treating the bench as his personal recliner
F – both sleeping (not pictured)

    LMAO!!!! HAHAHHAHA! I have done that before but because I am so tired from working almost 12 hour shifts. But I usually curl up in my seat and bury my head into my bag. This is GREAT!
