rach 1 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Read? Listen to music? Play games? Keitai zombie stuff? I listen to music all the time now. Such a great thing I only started doing it not so long ago, never look back I think. I can totally blank out and ignore everything around and not get caught up in unwanted eikaiwa etc. Link to post Share on other sites

mfurmane 0 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Usually read a book...maybe a $18 imported magazine from the real world. Do any of you sleepers tend to lean on the individual next to you? How does that individual react? Link to post Share on other sites
ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I slept once and also missed my station. Quite a few nihonjins seem to be very good waking up at the right time. I try not to now, I remember once seeing an OL fall asleep on this guy and she was literally in his lap. It might have looked naughty if she'd have been awake. Link to post Share on other sites
flipside 0 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I fell asleep and ended up an hour from my station. Actually I've done that twice and once on a 'bus to nowhere" Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I usually see scenery outside of the window which is fun on riding on a train. When I go to Matsumoto by train, I keep seeing mountains over the window. But if it's shinkansen and a lot of tunnels like Sanyo-shinkansen, only choice is to sleep A bit difficult for me to read books in a train because my eyes are really getting far-sighted nowadays.
