Description
I had the ' pleasure ' to taste the everyday life of Tokyoite commuters at rush hour... So I ended up tasting the sweaty suits of those salary-men that squeezed from all sides.The train was CRAM-FULL.
It was VERY hard to breathe. Some commuters were asleep while leaning on a strangers shoulder (or maybe they just fainted...?
)This was not an easy photo to take, and actually shooting it made others angrily stare at me (if they could at all, in their hopelessly cricked pose^^)
Comments are welcome!

I took it before buying the 450D... I guess taking that picture with a SLR would have triggered attention a lot more

When I used to live in Romania, the buses were just as crammed as this. But never heard about any molesting on them, like the problems they have in Japan.

Well Romanians are all pervs, that's why.

I beg your pardon? Did you read my comment right? I said there was NO molesting on the Romanian buses. It's the Japanese that are pervs not the Romanians.
And I am Romanian and I take offense to that.

Ew yea I remember rush hour. So awkward, especially since in the U.S. we're taught about "personal space". Being a girl too! With all these men pressed up against me! DX I wanted to leave as soon as the doors shut!
All of your Japan photos are stunning and capture Japan very well!
