I left a folded baby stroller at my feet on a nearly deserted train in the middle of the day. There was plenty of room to walk past, but this girl who walked by suddenly turned back at me, pointed at the stroller and screamed, 'Why did you bring this thing onto the train?'" the mother says. "And she was deadly serious."
Ahhh... the nice thing about being a foreigner is that no one expects you to understand Japanese, so no one yells at me when I forget to take off my backpack in the train. On busy days I must bruise at least two or three faces.
