Rudest Shock...
I got the rudest shock of Tokyo tonight....
I met up with Yuting in Tokyo. Sent her back to her hotel before running to the train station to make sure I catch the last subway back home otherwise it's gonna to be an expensive taxi ride home...
Ok, it's a friday night, and most Tokyoians don't work on saturday so understandably they are all out partying and drinking. I ran some distance before making sure that I actually catch the last subway at 0026 hours... ok there was a crowd waiting for the train... and to my horror, when the train arrived, it was packed to the brim, like the morning rush hour, worse than the morning rush hour... so the ritual carried on, squeeze push shove whatever you have... to try to make it into the train... since it's the last train, it's much more desperate attempts by the subway warrior Tokyoians, and moans of "oh shit" in Japanese by those who didn't manage to squeeze in. Well I managed to squeeze in to save about S$30 for my cab back.
So I took 2 stops of the subway, with my little brother stuck to the ass of the lady in front of me, and my chest on her back... and my face tickled by her hair, she's just like a few cm shorter than me...well don't say that I am a lucky guy, cos I don't feel anything except that my lungs were totally compressed...
When was the last time that we ever saw a Singapore MRT packed to the brim for the last train? Probably after this experience, I might never take the last train again anymore...
