I’m headed to Ebisu. My hot tip for getting a seat during rush hour is to stand in
front of a person who looks like they’ll be getting off soon! To keep cool I just
listen to the music in myself.

I’m going from Harajuku to Roppongi and I never sit cuz I wanna dance. To keep my
cool I just close my eyes and lose myself in the music.

I’m coming from my office in Ebisu and going to Harajuku to have dinner. I don’t
need to sit; it’s only a few stops. I keep cool by watching people.

Where are you coming from? Where are you going? Do you know? DO YOU CARE? Most of us just
want to get where we’re going in one piece, but some of us aspire to lofty goals such
as getting a (gulp!) seat. Tell us how you do it - and how you keep your cool when
it’s standing room only.

Where am I going? From heaven to hell! How do I get a seat during rush hour? Drive my car!
And think of the beach!

I’m headed home to Chiba to have an early night. My tip for getting a seat during
rush hour? Head down and charge. I don’t try to keep my cool - I just accept it and
sweat. Whew.
