Episode Synopsis "Armrests make a difference in Japan!"

This episode was recorded live on the train in Japan, so there is quite a bit of background noise. I spoke very quietly to make this message as I did not want to disturb others. The tendency for people to not make room for others to sit on the train is becoming more common in Japan, especially over the past few years. But the addition of armrests in some of the private railway cars seems to have made a difference. Listen to today's audio blog and let me know your thoughts.
