Women Only
















Could you imagine riding on a train that is so crowded that the Station Attendants have to shove people in so that the doors will close? I have not personally seen anything like the above left picture but have heard Matt and other co-workers talk about it. Hiroshima, with a population of 1.1 million people, is considered "the country." As you can tell from the 2 pictures above, during rush hour in Tokyo trains can become extremely jam-packed. Unfortunately, some men take this opportunity to get a little too familiar with the ladies. When we visited Tokyo in March, I noticed the sign below on one of our train rides and thought it would be a interesting post to share with you all. Ladies, if you don't like the crowds and don't want the men to get to personal, the authorities have reserved this car for you...

Ha ha, and they think *Hiroshima* is the country. They should try Kikaijima.
I have heard of those pushing attendants but never seen it. Nuts.
