Oh my God. I've got to post this now, while it's still fresh (eeewwww) in my memory.

So I got on the train at Nishi Kagoshima Station, ready to come home after a day of shopping in Kagoshima City. I had just gotten settled in my seat, when all of a sudden a remarkably ugly woman got on the train. Never had so much makeup been used to so little effect.

This person deposited a number of big bags by the door and proceeded to walk down the car to find a seat, stopping at the seat behind mine. At this point, a definitely MALE voice gruffly asked if the seat was free. Getting a nod (the other person was apparently speechless), he went back to the door, and schlepped his bags over to the seat.

Later in the train ride, the seats on the other side of the aisle from me freed up, and so this guy (old, ugly) moved over there. He then proceeded to put his legs up on the seat in front of him, put a green knit...thingy on them, and then he hauled out a camcorder and videotaped...his legs. For about five minutes. I have no clue what he was doing. I'm not sure I want to know.

When I got ready to get off the train at Higashiichiki, he proceeded to move all of his stuff again, across the aisle to where I had been sitting. He then put the green thingy back on and continued to videotape.

Everyone in that car of the train was staring at him.

Actually, I am sure. I definitely don't want to know.
