I've always wondered why everyone wants to live in the large urban 
centers so much for reasons like this. The streets are so crowded that 
you can't push a stroller without people bumping it, or the people are 
so rude that they bump into a stroller without caring. Had many such 
issues in Himeji and Kobe, and both are much less crowded than Tokyo.
