In my effort to understand life, I can say I have learned something else from the train stations here. That it other than how to hold your breath long enough to not smell the body odors coming from the person in front of you. Were like sardines in a moving box with doors, anyway thats another story.
The first day i was Central, I was stunned at how people run from one side to another. While I was still not familiar with life in a country where time is important, I found it amusing watching people run and trip over each other. I couldnt understand why! People run from side to side, like a basketball game, except there are people wearing suits and carrying bags. There are people who wouldnt even hear you if you were following them, iPods on high. Thats really dangerous actually, again for another story.
As I started university I realized that managing my time became really important. Time walking is Time Wasted! In order to get home faster, I have to be at my local station from my university in 30 mins. Otherwise I would end up waiting an extra 30 minutes waiting for the bus.
So I became just another time-oriented person running through the stations, from platform to platform. I became a hypocrite. Making fun of people while I have become one of them.
Who knows, theres probably someone out there, watching and laughing at us, not knowing that one day, they will be the one being made fun of!
