Lunch Break: Train stuffing
by LauraLoo
Career ”train stuffers” push and squish people into Tokyo train cars.

I’m taking the train two days this week for business training in downtown Chicago and am SO glad we don’t endure any of that train stuffing here. (We have other issues, as you can imagine!) However, I’ll definitely have to watch where I can and cannot walk in the Windy City due to pre-NATO summit preparation.

LauraLoo,
Sorry to hear you have to be in the city this week with NATO there. Be careful :). In case people don’t know, some museums in downtown Chicago will be closing on Sunday and Monday because of the NATO Summit. (Authorities are planning for the worst scenario, but hoping for the best.)
Regarding the video – Ugh. Can’t imagine why anyone would want to live in Tokyo.
Reminds me of being in London, where riding the tube during the 4-5 PM rush hour always made me feel like I was playing a game of sardines–I’d just hold tight to my purse and focus on the destination. That being said, I’ve lived in small towns, medium towns and large cities and despite the hassle I definitely prefer the city. I just feel more alive there.
Jennifer,
Lol. I was about to say this reminds me that I don’t like sardines.
I don’t think they’ll have this problem with the high-speed rail boondoggles out west. In this wide-open country, we prefer to drive.
I wouldn’t make it very long.
“STOP TOUCHING ME!”
JfL: Thanks for your sweet comment. I made it home each day in one piece, unscathed. :D
There were dozen of protestors about 3 blocks from where I was walking today, right in front of the ABC7/WLS news station. They were protesting Rush Limbaugh (?), even though he is HQ’d in Florida.
