In the classic movie It's a wonderful life they say a very catchy phrase: "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings". In Japan they should say: "Every time a train is late, a kaishain committed suicide". Apparently the train system in Japan is so good, that it's never late, and whenever it's late, it means someone jumped in front of a train. Jumping in front of a train is the most popular way to go in Japan, where suicide rates are quite high. Why am I rambling about this? The other night we were going to catch a train to go out. The train was 1 minute late and our Japanese friend, Yuji, made a comment about someone committing suicide. Obviously we thought he was joking, at least until 3 guards walked passed us carrying a body bag. Pretty shocking, sorry I don't have pics.
