Even Geishas need to rest.
Whenever I am on the subway, it always amazes me that so many people are sleeping. Perhaps it is the long hours people work, but probably half of the car is filled with people in various stages of sleep. There are the head-bobbers, the swayers, the dosers and then the ones fighting with all their might not to sleep. I couldn't understand this concept until I took a long ride after an afternoon of walking around in the heat. The cars are air conditioned and very quiet. No screeching like you hear in New York. And, very little talking. It is easy to get swayed to sleep on these trains. I was fading fast...until my station came up and I had to leave. I was almost sorry.
