Only the strongest can survive in the harshest of conditions.

You merely adopted the railway. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see an empty seat until I was already a man.

So it's a bit shamey to judge women based on their trains. It's more about what's inside and if you could still see yourself going for a ride when she's older.

I've heard nothing but good things about Japanese trains. The worst I've ever heard was "this aspect was mediocre" which is leagues above anything in the US.

Rail travel in Japan is awesome. I've ridden the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Hiroshima and back, and ridden suburban trains around Tokyo and Osaka. The trains are always on time and always clean. A+ Highly Recommended.
