Canned Sardines
For a country that values personal space, Japanese people seem to have no problem having every inch of their body touched by random strangers while commuting.
Riding on the train during rush hour must be a terrifying experience for those people who aren’t used to being a sardine in a can! So of course train capacity is supposed to be 100% but during rush hour, it maxes up to 250%. A comfortable train ride would be having the space of .5 meter squared but during rush hour, this exceeds to 5 people per .5 meter squared. Even a math-idiot can figure it out! The answer is: CROWDED!
So, where do you draw the line of sexual harassment and can’t-help-touching-you? I know I certainly don’t want to be groping strangers but desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
