I think i now visual proof of three things. First, this is the shortest escalator ever built. Second, the Japanese are a lazy bunch. I mean honestly are these four ladies trying to decide to take the stairs or the escalator? It is amazing that these short people are not round and plump from being spoiled with automatic everything! Yesterday i was walking with a Japanese friend and we came to a store and it didnt have automatic doors. She literally stood there for a few seconds waiting for the doors to magically open. It wasnt until i came and pushed them open that we physically entered the room.

Third, the Japanese have entered a contest with themselves to try to cover every square inch with advertisements. I have seen ads on the rails of escalators (i have visual proof). I might also post a pic of inside the train. There are no needs for windows as they are all covered with ads.

Insane.

What you neglect to mention is visual proof of a fourth thing: that woman is about to do surgery on the shortest escalator in the world! She's yelling at the other ones to scrub in.
