Moblog moment getting passed around
Sent from a friend of a friend of a friend who captured this scene with a cell phone in Tokyo. Pretty neat that I get to see it here in San Francisco. I'm happy that we can't see his face, poor sleepy guy. Makes me miss the safeness of Tokyo where it's OK to conk out like that in public (although bad for his neck & back). And even with his bag so open for mischief, most likely nothing will happen. On the other hand, it also reminds me how tired people get. Kids and adults...working and commuting in a big busy city. It can be hard for sure if you don't know how to slow down.

That's quite a pose he's got going there!
As always, I have a "How'd they do it in Japan..." question. Hope you don't mind!
Would it be considered rude to wake this poor guy and help him up into seated position again (and possibly ask whether he's ok), or would it be considered rude to not wake him and help him rearrange his bones?
Hi mlle a,
Interesting question. I can pretty much guarantee that no one would wake him up. Maybe a train conductor would if he walked by.
It is the norm to stay out of other people's business, to see but pretend not to see...but this isn't necessarily good. If someone really needs help, there have been incidences where they'd get no help even when in a crowd.
My dad...and me after learning from my dad and living in the US...do take initiative to smile, say hi, or inquire if one needs help. It's usually welcomed.
