Work culture in Japan

-
Based on friend's working experience in Japan, but exaggerated (he didn't play games in office :P ). While it's normal to work overtime till 7-8pm in Singapore, it's normal to work overtime till 11pm-1am in Tokyo...

      I do not know how, but he told me that he could nap with open eyes. I think that is a result of long years of training. BTW, he is states now and could sleep legally in his cubicle without being catched and punished for that :lol:

      That RPG game on picture looks very suspicious. What is it?

      ewww...

    Ok so I believe that is just sad. Companies eother mesaure your achievemnts by either accomplishment or by doing time (yes, sitting in your desk for 8 hours is like doing time)...The only why I stay after work is ONLY because I have not finish something I should have, and that is final. I was one of the few $%&% that satyed until the boss left the office because "oh no, what would HE think if I leave first" until yeah...I grew some balls :P

      LOL, it takes time to grow those balls, I understand perfectly :P

      Luckily I don't sit in the same room with my boss back in Singapore.
      But he did catch me coming late once... (but nothing happened, so out of guilt I stayed a bit late)
      Anyway, I did all my work :P

This post has nothing to do with Japan, except that I have the tendency to fall sick during long Japanese holidays like year end and golden week. So with weak Japanese medicine not working, and even with kiwis and lemon honey drink all failing, I resorted to my friend's advice: coke and ginger . It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste...
