I always like sleeping on trains but I never thought about why, maybe it's because it feels like this?!

Yes, if I fell asleep on a train or bus, I would be afraid someone would draw on my face for fun.

Oh, so you like sleeping in trains? :D
I have never traveled by train, but I'd like to.

I guess sleeping in trains might be comfortable because they are quiet, and their route is smooth, there are no bumps on the way, etc.

Well, at least what I'm imagining in my mind is a slow, old train with cabins, where you can read a book, and sleep nicely.
I know trains in Japan are much, much faster ~

Jay <--- wow, it sounds fun, i wish there were more buses or atleast one train in my city, so somebody could draw on my face. ^^

In the US, if I fall asleep in public, I feel embarassed. My friends might tease me. One time when I fell asleep, my friend covered me with napkins. There are even blogs and websites to tease people who sleep on trains:

The culture is different.

When I had work where I took a train in, I would often have the urge to sleep. The problem would always be where I put my head. Resting it on the side, against the window, would often feel really nice...

the problem is that the trains aren't cleaned very often, so often the windows would be covered in grease from the last person who fell asleep there (>p<). I don't want to rest my head in someone else's face grease!

I sleep on airplanes, so I guess the idea of sleeping on a train isn't that bad. I'd be afraid I'd miss my stop though...

Nice entry with great English. People here sleep while waiting for their stop too, and it's not much of a big deal. I don't have that luxury though, since my train commute is only about 10 minutes long. If I sleep, I might miss my stop.

Uhhh, I will be not able to sleep on the train if somebody draws on my face for fun. ^^

Oh. I hate a duty train too. Fortunately, the train I ride is always very clean. ^^

As you say, I missed my stops a lot! ^^

I'm still not sure the difference between "on the contrary" and "to the contrary".

When i was in Japan, my classmates and I spent a lot of time theorizing how people knew when to wake up, but it makes sense if you live life in a strong pattern you can do anything with your internal clock. I never use an alarm, but I've never been late to work because it's important to me. People wrote a lot about the U.S. public behavior. Americans don't like to be touched at all and we like more personal space than almost any culture. When we go to other countries we are amazed how relaxed people are around each other. My brother told me stories about people on the train in India touching and sleeping on him; I was amazed. In Japan I was also amazed how many times I was touched inappropriately in crowded places by men and women. It was the most funny thing. On Mexican crews people do it to their co-workers as a joke, but in Japan they'll do it strangers, so funny.

I have fallen asleep on a public bus here in California and I almost missed my stop. I fall asleep almost everywhere, though, ha ha.

Oh, I'm likely to touch everybody. It's a way of communicatin to show an amiable person. ^^

>h2orowe

Hahaha, me too.
