@CountDify I remember nausea building and desperately trying to hold it in. The thought of puking in the corner of the train completely mortified me, (luckily the train was fairly empty).
Thankfully my mother had a plastic bag. We got off at the next stop--like I was going to make those poor people ride with me and my puke. The Japanese on the train were so gracious. They offered me bags, tissues and water. So now I'm thinking maybe they were just grateful I didn't go on the floor. XD

I went to Japan in 1999, and we stayed with a friend of the family (a mixed family). On our first day, we went out to lunch with the adult daughter of the family, who was practising an odd diet (no gluten, no meat). Because of this, we walked around for hours, trying to find a place she could eat at. By the time we did eat, I was starving, run down, tired and jet lagged. As a consequence, I started to get motion sickness on the train ride home.

In army I learned to sleep in every position, everywhere regardless of noise, temperature, stress, situation, weather I am standing or sitting and even when my eyes are open. Sleeping eyes open is scary, your eyes get cold and dry, so when you wake up its uncomfortable maybe even dangerous. Of course I didn't sleep long with my eyes open, probably couple of minutes.

I won't mention the London Underground lol.

Haven't been to Japan before.. But jeez i guess that japanese people just try to understand that the one throwing up might have some issues and try to understand that, so that they wouldn't make an issue over it.. : )

痴漢注意!
Be aware of chikans!
都内の電車マナー(化粧、優先席、痴漢)はよく話題になるし、確かに日本人同士でも議論が尽きませんね。あと話題にあがった「山手線ハロウィンパーティー」は見てて腹立たしいし、日本に住む外国の方の印象が著しく悪くなってると思いますよ。もちろん、騒ぎを起こしているのは一部の外人だけというのは分かってますが。

山手線のHalloween Partyは結構在住外国人の世界の中で多く議論されますよ。基本的に長く滞在するほど「Anti」になる傾向がありますね。外人のほうにも迷惑をかけていると思います。ただ、マスコミの反応も相変わらずヒステリーも入っていると思いますね。個人的に、電車の中とホーム上で酒を禁じるべきだと思っていますね。
Peace

Holy Crap...riding trains in Tokyo at night sounds just like riding on a night subway in Seoul. I used to live there and worked at a language school....went home each night at 10pm-ish...trains were always filled with drunk and angry Korean salarymen. Now I'm at an Int. School here in Japan so I commute home n the late afternoon....so....I luckily mis all of the bad things you've mentioned..the trains are half-filled and everyone's sober :)

Haha, one of the things I like about Japan is that the people are surprisingly restrained as drunks - even where they can't stand up, you don't often see fights or real antisocial behaviour from salarimen on their way home. Drunk and angry salarymen sounds a bit freaky.
I've been meaning to do a few more "survival manual" vids - your comment is a reminder that this was a good idea. Nice of you to pick it up.
Cheers mate!

AH Thanks for these great vlogs,keep making em. I went to Japan last year and I've noticed in the train a sign that says,"No mobile phones near priority seats" I think thats what it said. Why is that?

Alicenine33, thanks for the comment! The rule is you can have your mobile on and use email and games and so on throughout the train, but you cannot talk on the train because this is annoying to other passengers.
If you are standing around the priority seat area, they ask that you turn the power off on your mobile, because the mobile phone signal (even for incoming email) can interfere with heart pacemakers. I have friends with pacemakers who had this happen.
Peace!
