It’s interesting how train delays can make such a huge difference in travel time even though I only live 20 minutes away from work. Before coming to Japan, I knew that train delays were very common here so I am not surprised when it happens. This is probably similar to traffic jams in America, so I guess each country has their own version of delayed transportation. I am fortunate that my co-workers and employers are understanding when it comes to train delays, and luckily I usually manage to still make it on time. The train system in general is very convenient in Japan and I am glad that I get to experience a way of traveling that is different from what I grew up with.
