This was just the start, of *epic* queues of people to get home. By bus, taxi, any means possible. Roads immediately gridlocked, no-one could move and it stayed like that for days. Having an impeccable public transport system allows unimaginable numbers of people to commute long distances every day. One glitch, and those millions (I have heard it's something like 20m commuting in/out of Tokyo every day) are stuck. Japan's normal efficiency became a handicap in all areas of life during the disaster b/c unlike the residents of other countries, where ppl are used to periodic failures and the general uselessness of both public and private services -- so don't rely on things working well -- the Japanese rely on the system running almost perfectly every time.

People queueing for a ticket to see Edinburgh Castle. And that chap in the centre who looks like he's looking at me? He's actually looking around to see if anyone is watching him open a can of beer.

When travelling on a Ryanair flight, why do people queue up for up to an hour, just stood there, waiting to be let on the plane? Everyone gets assigned seats, so there's no advantage to getting on the plane first, we can't take off until the last person is on. Recently Ryanair have taken to putting people's handluggage in the hold as well to save space, but this seems to apply to anyone not in 'priority' who has bulky handluggage, so I can't see the point of queuing if they're not actually allowing anyone on the plane yet.
Mugs, all of them! I sat on a comfortable chair and drew them.
No picture of anything interesting - just a pic of life mundaneness.
It's that time again. Time to update the queue. I'm probably the only one that finds it a chore to go in and update my Netflix DVD queue. However, it does crack me up to rate a movie and then get asked "How often do you watch (some random, unheard of film genre). --- If you're a netflix-r you know what I mean.
Actually, it was the queue for the bus to Ziyang... but it happen to point in the direction of a McDonald sign!
La coda per il McDonald
A dire la verita' era la fila per l'autobus per Ziyang, ma puntava proprio nella direzione dell'insegna di McDonald!

thanks to bazpics for the inspiration for this shot. the uglydolls almost missed out on their traditional cookie queue but i managed to get some cookies for them..
Proudmoore (affectionately known as Lagmoore) is known for its queue but after about 3 hours of installing the expansion this is how the log-in screen greeted me. There are 1167 more losers waiting to play ... sigh.
We made it to Carsland!!! All of the updates to DCA were fabulous, it is now so easy to navigate around the park, and Carsland was an amazingly immersive experience, you truly step into the Radiator Springs we all know from Cars the Pixar movie. Here is a video that Jason made on Radiator Springs racers, it was so cool and we were lucky to be able to ride it twice.
