Escalator Cockroach

We were getting on the escalator to go up to the train platform when we saw a cockroach scurrying toward the escalator, too. We couldn't believe we might see it actually do combat with the metal stairs, so weren't prepared with the camera when the little devil actually scuttled purposefully up to the first step, and with perfect timing climbed aboard. We finally got the camera up and running so we could film it riding the steps and getting off at the top like he'd done it a million times. I'm telling you, that was some crazy sh*t. You gotta come to Japan.

Ahh, we were on our way to a friend's house... I can't remember which station it is. Somewhere on the Tobu-Noda line east of Kasukabe in Saitama (north-east of Tokyo).
