Commuting can feel like an uphill battle




This is a picture taken with my cell phone on last Tuesday. The train line I use to go to work was backed up due to a mechanical problem near the end of the line (apparently the doors wouldn't close on one of the trains). The whole thing started around 7:40 and I didn't get to work until about 9:30. The picture shows the scene I was faced with when I had to change trains at Ikebukuro, one of the major stations in Tokyo.
