Unless one lives way out in the suburbs and the train ride is 90 minutes. The first thirty minutes into Tokyo isn't too bad. It's the remaining sixty minutes

Unless one lives way out in the suburbs and the train ride is 90 minutes. The first thirty minutes into Tokyo isn't too bad. It's the remaining sixty minutes which would shock most Westerners. Not looking forward to summer... Which is why I bicycle into work. Sure it takes 90 minutes (I'm as fast as the train with all the stops) but my soul isn't squashed out by all the other sad salary men.
