The train companies are cracking down on antisocial behaviour on trains. What might that be? Well, one thing is putting on make-up. Below is one of the posters for the campaign that I spotted at Hatchobori subway station. I always find it entertaining to watch already over-made-up girls looking at themselves in a portable mirror on the trains as they reapply mascara and lipstick and even curl their (fake) eyelashes with one of those torture instruments. It must take a lot of skill. You could take your eye out with one good bump. Actually, I don't see many mobile beauty workshops in Tokyo as I did in Nagoya. I sort of miss it.
If you think I'm a geek for writing about Tokyo trains, there's a guy out there who writes about his morning commute on the Chuo line (or the "Sardine Express" as he calls it):

Another guy collects and posts pictures of Japanese people asleep in public places:

I miss sleeping on the trains... I spend 3-5 hours per day busing or on the skytrain, but you can never sleep here, what a waste of time!
Train naps are the best...
