Ed says 4/1/2011 at 4:10 pm Very funy, I have a similar picture for you: http://www3.telus.net/a4082993/jp/pages/Osaka%20(6).html Reply
Lee says 4/1/2011 at 8:30 pm Ah, but he’d obviously been soaking up way more than just the sun! Reply
Biggie says 4/1/2011 at 4:25 pm hey! I told you not to take any pictures of me! (bad choice of socks colour though) Reply
darkbean says 4/1/2011 at 6:04 pm wow, better not be dead in Japan, people won’t really notice, they’d just think you’re sleeping or something 🙂 Reply
Bianca says 4/1/2011 at 7:26 pm Hahaha! Nice one! But erm it looks like he’s lying on carpet rather than grass lol. Reply
Lee says 4/1/2011 at 8:35 pm The picture was taken in the gardens of the Emperor’s Palace, so it’s a lawn of the highest quality! Reply
Lyn says 4/3/2011 at 8:36 am So they really can sleep anywhere? Even the Emperor’s Gardens? If you did that in NY you’d probably be robbed as you slept… or worse. Reply
Lee says 4/3/2011 at 11:40 pm Yeah, pretty much seems to be anywhere Lyn. And yes, the Emperor’s Palace gardens are a good a place as any! Reply
TKYC says 4/5/2011 at 3:34 pm And the grass is a little brown as it comes off its winter hibernation. It should green up in spring. Reply
Lee says 4/2/2011 at 9:26 am Haha, good point! And I dare say he wouldn’t have woken up even if he had. Reply
Lee says 4/2/2011 at 9:30 am Yeah a blackout different from the ones we’ve become accustomed too… Reply
Lizzy says 4/1/2011 at 11:11 pm Once again, I would LOVE to live in Japan. Even for a year. I would make it my mission to see how many random places in (or on) which I could nap without being unduly disturbed. Reply
Lee says 4/2/2011 at 9:34 am From what I’ve seen Lizzy, there are very few places you would be disturbed, so you’d have quite a busy/relaxing job on your hands! Reply
Lee says 4/2/2011 at 9:42 am It’s exactly how I felt at the time too. It was more than a little tempting to join him. Reply
Lori says 4/2/2011 at 4:39 am Love it. Had to share with my friends on Facebook. Thanks for the laugh, Lee. Reply
Lee says 4/2/2011 at 9:45 am Nah, definitely a salaryman. He was too old for school, and it was a suit he was wearing. Reply
Joel says 4/2/2011 at 11:36 am Suits sometimes transform people, it’s good to know that not everyone gets affected, hahahaha. Quite interesting picture, very funny too! Reply
Lee says 4/3/2011 at 11:42 pm That’s very true Joel. Something I’ve never really considered before either. But like you say, good to see that this fella refuses to be affected! Reply
Victoria says 4/3/2011 at 4:30 pm Love it. This also happens in Seattle when the sun comes out. Reply
Lee says 4/4/2011 at 10:38 pm It should happen everywhere. We’d all be a lot more relaxed, that’s for sure! Reply

Maybe he wore them to match the sky!

Yeah, public sleeping is incredibly common.

Its a skill the Japanese seem to excel at.
Lee says
It certainly is. One I quite envy too.
