Recently I have been performing a rather interesting social experiment. For whatever reasons I constantly kept sitting next to people on the train only to find that two things would happen. First, except on rare occasion nobody would occupy the side next to me and if they did they were older women. Second, if someone moved and left available space the person next to me would move at least one seat over and then I would have two seats next to me . Normally I wouldn't take it to heart but this happens all the time and I began to wonder if I had a smell or some glaring disease I didn't know about. Well, my Dr thinks I'm fine and my wife assures me I normally smell ok. Therefore it must be something about being a foreigner that has them perplexed. Therefore I have decided to run with it. I have begun sitting in seats with openings on both sides of me. I am looking to see if it's an attire thing and mostly to see how long an how busy a train must be until I lose my comfortable seating. Will post results in the upcoming days.
