Downsides of Public Transportation

Tuesday must have been a bad day for some people – there were two separate train/people accidents along the train line on my way home yesterday. Thankfully, neither of them involved the train I was riding on. But it did result in a lot of delays, and my train was crammed with people on the way home.

And I mean crammed – people at each stop tried to squeeze themselves in, while people already on board the train cried out “It’s impossible!” and “Just wait for the next one!”. I found myself squeezed next to a beautiful woman who smiled at me even though my elbow was pointed right at the back of her head. All in all, a pretty traumatic experience.

So it was wine time when I got home. Kuniko made her special nikujaga recipe (without the niku) and also some sautéed eggplant with mirin that turned out really nicely. We watched a little TV and then hit the sack early.
