At the risk of cementing the myth that people we fought in wars can make trains run on time the Japanese are also brilliant at this. I lived in Tokyo and we went to a friendly between Japan and South Korea in Saitama. No train queues either way despite a bigger crowd and you could have a cold...

*sigh* Even with your basic grasp on the English language you do understand that something that is adjacent to something else is deemed to be 'next' to it? And that a platform is next to the track? And that the track contains a live rail? No? Point being you can't control your direction of...
