On the train to work this morning, I was standing and reading a book when I heard a splashing sound behind me. Turned around and saw that an older woman had vomited all over the place, I was hit around the lower back of my pants but the people next to her were not as lucky. There was no one in the direct path fortunately. I dived out of range when the second tsunami came. Poor lady. I wanted to go and help her but the smell of puke makes me want to throw up as well so I would not have contributed in the best of ways. Another more compassionate commuter helped her off the train at the next station. It's a difficult situation for people to be helpful, isn't it?
