Tonight I experienced something that I honestly didn't think existed...a completely empty subway in central Tokyo.
This was at Ginza station, which is one of the larger stations, in an expensive, exclusive area, with at least 6 or 7 intersecting subway lines.
Outside, the streets were packed, and I knew the trains would be too, so it was a little eerie to walk down a set of stairs in the middle of a department store complex, to find dead silence, and completely empty halls. I think it's the first actual silence I have had since arriving here!
And of course I was right, after walking a hundred metres or so, from an intersecting corridor hundreds of people appeared.
But it sure was strange for that 30 seconds or so...
