Ha, ha, this is real subway surfing, Japanese style.

This is clever, but as far as I’m concerned, nothing beats those great ads from a few decades back with the black and white photographs of a man sitting with his legs outstretched and the caption in Japanese: Nagai ashi moteru na. What a beautiful pun, and the art was lovely too. There was a whole series of them, but that was my favorite.

I saw that poster last night and proceeded to take pictures, lol! I don’t know about you, but I’ve never swam onto the train. Rushed in, that’s another story! But when there’s people behind you trying to get your seat, you’ve gotta be quick!
