I haven’t done that for a while but that’s because the only escalators I use are in the LRT stations here in Calgary and I am usually running to catch a C-Train at about 7:45am, along with the rest of the City of Calgary.

The stairs only work when they exist. My only alternative (in the shopping mall where I go to) is an elevator, but taking it would also kill my intention of moving

If it makes you feel any better, I definitely try to continue walking when I get on an escalator.

I like the moment when you step off of a conveyor belt (if you’re moving) and you feel a force pulling you forward

I love the flat moving sidewalks, particularly the ones that have a bounce when you walk on it. If you walk really, really fast on these it almost feels like you are flying!

Very true Peter, and very nice picture also!

I sort of “envy” you for being there in Japan

Enjoy your time, and thank you for your visit.

I’m currently in the escalator capital of the world: Hong Kong. it’s crazy. no one ever uses the stairs and I’ve seen that happen too. for some reason everyone’s always bustling around, but the only place they always stand still is on the escalator!
