December 18th, 2008

OH DEAR LORD OMG. aha. My mother always told me of these stories of when she was little there would be these men with white gloves who would shove you in a train cart. I’ve always thought she was lying because the many times I’ve been to Osaka to visit my relatives I’ve never seen this!! LOL I guess I’ve always missed rush hour for some reason. How lucky of me XD
I’ve seen a clip of this phenomenon before. What about the risk of injury? I mean, passengers are pushing other passengers, employees are pushing passengers, and the people inside still have to go somewhere.
My wife and i got quite joyful that Michael could complete his investigation through the entire ideas he gained using your web pages. It’s not at all simplistic to just happen to be making a gift of guidance that many some other people have been trying to sell. And we all see we have got you to appreciate for that. All of the explanations you’ve made, the straightforward blog menu, the friendships you can make it easier to foster - it’s got many remarkable, and it’s really aiding our son and the family feel that the article is interesting, which is certainly really vital. Many thanks for all the pieces!
