three hours
I met my friend in Ebisu and ate Okinawa food then went to standing wine bar. I rode the train around 9 pm and I should have arrived at home about one hour later. BUT it took three hours because my line stopped; somebody had thrown himself in front of the train. After two and half hours later, rescue workers finally helped him and checked the train and the station staff said 'we will start to run the train' but soon again he announced 'now somebody is walking on the railway, we have to wait to check that everything is okay'....orz....Finally I got at home around midnight. So tired.

It was good point of Japan that every traffics including trains run on schedule and kept their time. But recently Odakyu line can't line on time usually because of so many excuse. I hate this shit. And yes Rudolf. Some pleople jumped into the train, I don't think they came to the station to jump in, they just came to go somewhere like work, then changed their mind because of stress, I guess so.

When I went Japan last year, I also encountered delay in Narita Express. I wondered if someone had jumped onto the tracks. Mari-san, is situation like this common in Tokyo?
