There is one thing I miss about working at Microsoft - the great views (Amazon had great views too). But the thing I definitely don't miss is being squashed on the train and dodging swarms of fellow commuters on the way to work every morning.
Took this photo when I went to the Shizuoka Hobby Show and had flashbacks of me being squashed on the trains ^^;
Tokyo Commute
Train platforms are located all over the place and you will experience people charging from all directions. Getting to your train can be most stressful from having to dodge human projectiles - then its more stress waiting on the train when you get there ^^;
But there is one technique that I use often to get through the crowds without having to go through grief - its quite simple.
What you do is to locate a fellow human who is charging through the crowds in the direction you want to go in. People tend to move away from Chargers due to the manner that they charge through the crowds.
What you do then is to locate yourself behind that person and use them as a shield.
If your Charging Shield wanders off then locate another Charging Shield until you reach your destination. This works wonders and you will find that you will be able to navigate even the most busiest of stations (like Shinagawa station pictured here).
