In train

Maybe it's time you book a flight out of Japan.    How is your observation supposed to help other expats?

Come on Romaniac, not need for such a response, it is a good and valid observation.

I see exactly the same problem in Japan. I often travel on the trains with my wife and young children and we often have to stand while young guys sit there with their eyes closed. At the ends of each carriage there are special seats for the elderly, pregnant women and people with young children and more often people will give up those seats. However, you are right that not many people do it.

I have been in trains in Japan where middle aged and elderly people try to offer their seats to us for our kids, and perhaps this reflects the nature of today's youth in Japan, so you are probably right.

For myself, of course we will always give up our seats for the elderly or those carrying an infant.

It's easy to find faults in every country, but I find that overall, Japan has less faults than most. And that includes safety everywhere.

Recently a blind man with his Buddy dog in station, no Japanese really care him, in end he dropped and died
