Here’s something I don’t think I’ll ever understand about Japan.
Why do so many young women use the train as a place to put on their makeup? First of all, is makeup really something you should be doing where anyone can see? Wouldn’t some privacy be preferable?
And secondly, is a train (or a bus, for that matter) really the best place to be putting on makeup? After all, even a train is not that smooth, not really. Just think about it: one bump at the wrong time, and you could be putting mascara on your eyeball, rather than your eyelashes!
