When I was in Japan the boys decided we should go
to Tokyo Disneyland.
I was working for the Nissan Motor Company and we spent
three months at the Nissan plant in Kaminokawa near to Utsunomiya City
learning about Japanese workplace practices and lean management.
We had to take two trains to get to Disneyland the first was
really good as there were not a lot of people on board however the second train
the boys who had been in Japan longer than us told us that once the train doors
open get a seat straight away.
Of course being polite I didn’t follow their advice and
ended up having to stand up all the way to Disneyland .
The train did get packed and a lovely young woman was stuck
in front of me. It’s true that we ended up packed in like sardines.
The train’s rhythmic motion gave rise to certain things and
the lady in front of me was well aware of what had or was happening. I looked
around aimlessly trying to think of Margret Thatcher naked but it had limited
effect.
The woman looked around a few times and smiled at me. The
boys obviously had an idea what was happen and of course made things worse by
suggesting things.
Thankfully the woman got off the train much to my relief but
did look at me though the window smiled and waved.
