I wonder when I’ll get used to seeing this? People, situated uncomfortably, sleeping in public. It’s just not something you see often in the United States, unless it’s sun bathers on the beach or the homeless. In Tokyo, the sleep deprived salary men or the weary commuters catch some shut eye whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself. I can’t help but take a second look and chuckle a little. Others go about their business as if no one was sleeping nearby. I guess it helps that you don’t have to worry much about your bag of valuables getting lifted. Saturday, May 2, 2009

This always got me too! Esp on the subways. I have a similar photo of some Japanese teenage boys sleeping somewhere.
