What's the delay?

Okay, lets get the apologies over and done with first. I APOLOGISE! I'm here in Tokyo - a city with one of the fastest networks available and my apartment has no fiber connection!!!! My landlord is having talks with NTT and is now looking favourably at the installation of fiber optics in all the apartments in the block. Wont be long now before I have a screaming internet connection of 100 mbps and will then be able to update this blog more regularly. Speaking - or is it writing of What's the delay - One things for sure - it aint the Japanese transportation system. The subway is superb and the trains run like well oiled Swiss machines. And to make everything run like clockwork and avoid those "lengthy" delays they employ people wearing white gloves - not Michael Jackson wannabees I might add - to push people onto those trains. Its quite funny to watch a train pass you buy with some Japanese people doing their impersonation of "Garfield" being plastered up the window!! These "pushers" are the only people I have seen running to work with big smiles on their faces - for some it aint the pay that makes the job worth while its the people you have to "push about."
