An experience of what they say about the rush hour trains in Japan where they hire sumo wrestlers to push the last possible person onto those trains. That’s how crowded it was. Some people toward the end of a train’s route would wait for a dozen trains to pass before they had made it to the pushing-in point.
Everyone I came into contact with was totally cheerful over the entire ordeal having the most fun calling out for the signs as they hove into view. It was all about the signs.
