Apart from in or just around train stations, it’s unusual to see people running in Tokyo. Or at least it is for those not dressed appropriately. So whatever, or indeed whoever, this woman was running from or to, it must have been important.
A woman in Shinjuku running from someone, or simply to something?
James says
a sale.
Lee says
Very good point, hadn’t thought of that!
Matt says
Running to avoid your lens..just kidding.
Lee says
Haha, I do hope not!
lyn says
I run everyday to school in Tokyo too 😛
Lee says
I restrict my exertions to the train station, and then it’s more like a fast walk!
Ken C says
She still manages to hold her bag at just the right angle in the crook of her arm so I think she is running to something rather than away.
Lee says
That bag carrying technique for some reason always fascinates me. But, Yeah, that’s my take on it as well.
Shizuo says
to Toilet ;p
Lee says
Hadn’t thought of that!
Lizzy says
Unless the hand in her pocket is gripping pepper spray, definitely “to” something. Still fascinating in it’s own way since you wouldn’t know for sure unless you followed her. In which case at some point she’d end up running away from you. lol
Lee says
I totally agree Lizzy, although I hadn’t taken into consideration the hand in her pocket. Good point.
Jake from Debt Sucks says
I see my comment disappeared. Oh well, not surprised. T’was a joke, after all.
Lee says
Yeah, sorry, but without intonation or an expression, it’s tough to know sometimes…
MrSatyre says
Run, Lola-san! Run!
Lee says
Haha!
Ken C says
I just realised that I read this wrong. She is running from yet another speaker playing the endless Mariah Carey loop.
Lee says
She’s wasting her energy if she is. There’s no escape from that…
