Where in Tokyo do you commute from and to? I used to live there and based on my recollection, I think you're pretty brave.
lol ya, I could go with a mamachari but it would do my head in. I'm coming from Saitama into work in Kamiyacho. As the other poster stated, I could play the dumb gaijin card which would certainly work most of the time. Perhaps I just need to move closer to work so its a shorter commute given the congestion.
