Unmanned train stations

5 yrs ago I met a bubbling elementary school lad. He's from the govt housing where I lived. Very lively and used to greet me whenever he saw me. Then he went on to the nearest junior high school and I saw him very rarely. Once I saw him with a group of boys his age and most probably from the same govt housing or maybe his school mates climbing the low metal fence of the train station nearest our apartment. And another time holding the bag of someone who looked menacing but maybe only several yrs older than him while he was being reprimanded of sort with a language with so much slurs on them. All the while I pretended to be looking the other way. He definitely didn't finished senior high school. This morning on my way home, I saw him again leaving the very same train I was riding. He was in fact ahead of everybody but did stop and a bit dillydally. I had a hunch that he won't be paying his fare so he was waiting till nobody was around. That train station is always unmanned. Just one of the nice things I love in Japan. And there's alot of unmanned stations everywhere here. With so many people like this lad, unmanned station are no longer viable. People like him are being subsidized by the paying public. That lad who looks South American, either a Bolivian or Peruvian is definitely from an immigrant parents. Scums starting it young and a prospective welfare applicant when he reaches his 50's if ever he'd be lucky enough to reach that age. Japan has so many nice facets being rebuked by people who insisted to stay, only to trample upon its peace and order. Seems unmanned stations are already outmoded.
