Sesame Street in the Tokyo Metro (Part 2)
Sesame Street is still commuting with the Tokyo Metro. Either that, or they are really concerned making everyone — including English-speaking non-Japanese under-civilized(?) gaijin like me — respect one another. Anyway, this is yet another episode of “The Sesame Street characters tell you how to respect the wa“. I like that.
“Take care of your umbrella!” Elmo says, this time. “Help everybody stay dry — roll up your umbrella” writes the caption at the top. Again, both in English and in Japanese. This is actually the third installment. I missed the first one. Damn! If you have seen it, please let me know in the comments below. I think the 4th lesson will be about bags to be stored in the overhead compartments. And hopefully the 5th one will teach perv oayji: “Do not grope the cute girl in front of you!” or something like this…

The next one is already out :-) It’s about sitting close together so more people can sit on the train benchs… That’s a welcome one, I guess, though most people already do this.
I would like to see one about giving up your seat to elderly, and people with large packages/small children. That’s something I’ve yet to see a japanese do.

Oh thanks! Need to go and get a snapshot of it I guess. I agree with the “elderly” comment. It is going to take a while I suppose…
