So maybe not 500…but I forgot to mention…on Saturday night I was waiting for my train in Shinjuku (translation: busy) station around 11pm. This older man was throwing a fit with one of the rail staff members. I have no clue what the fit was about but he was yelling and flailing his arms and the uniformed rail staff member was trying to control the situation very very quietly. Eventually another staff member came to help and the two of them tried to drag this man away…I don`t think they succeeded but he eventually did calm down.
What was more interesting about this though, was when my attention when from this man making a scene, to the 100 or so people standing at the next platform watching this scene. The magnitude of the audience just amazed me.
Here…if you yell…many people will hear.
PS. MacBook for work arrived today. Joy!
