This poster seen on the JR lines has the headline, "Wait until you get home." Apparently a plea to users of the Yamanote Line to wait until they get behind closed doors before freaking out on their cell phones? You really have to ride the trains here in Japan to understand just how unusual it is to really hear anyone talking. You never hear cell phones ringing and on the streets no car horns. Everything is fairly quiet for one of the largest cities in the world. On Saturdays and Sundays you do notice a faint rumble of excitement and of course after 10pm anything goes. But still it is amazing that there is a sense that people need to be told to keep quiet. d
