Hi, Koir. Thanks as always.
In your country, you don’t sleep on the train, but sleeping on buses is OK. Hmm. I thought sleeping in public spaces is rude outside of Japan, but it doesn’t seem to have been right.

But yes, I have slept on buses. During my first college experience I "zoned out" a lot, or essentially turned my mind off while keeping my eyes open. There was one especially amusing time when I did so and completely forgot to signal the driver. I remember coming out of one of those dazes to find the bus driver looking at me, and the bus was parked. It's a very good thing the driver knew where I usually had my stop or who knows how long I would have gone around the route!

Most Japanese people are used to sleeping on the train and buses, so we somehow wake up before getting to the station or the bus stop. I usually wake up one or two stations before the station I get off. I don’t know why we can do this.
