It never fails to amaze me how the country is so properly ordered in every way. The train commuters are one fine example: People would queue patiently in perfectly straight lines at designated zones and mentally divide train seats into equal portions and sit in one. The seats of each carriage are long flat cushions but somehow the Japanese know how to pick their spot. Furthermore, commuters would stand to the left side of the escalator and clear the right side for hurried businessmen. Japan is only one of the few places in the world where you would rush for dear life out of the train only to stand and wait on one side of the escalator.

Haha..
I've often wondered how Singaporeans can learn to imbue these values of order and respect for each other in our use of public commuting facilities.
In London, people also obediently stand to one side of the escalator.
