especially the 30 + guys.
why the sad face?

cause sushi tastes like eating pussy when they eat it too much

living costs.....................rather obvious...............

?

another post by mightycandy showing his obsession with japan.

They aren't sad. They are calm. That is Janpanese culture - calm and polite.

^ you mean like these? O_o

That's a gangster look.

I'm guessing it's the busy lifestyle and cultural tendencies (ie. the older generation usually doesn't like smiling in pics--also applies to Chinese, etc.).

CAUSE THOSE PICTURE FERFLABERS STEAL YOUR SOUL IF YOU SMILE!!!!
REALLY!! THIS OLD GUY FROM INDONESIA TOLD ME!

when i was on buses and subways there. it just seemed like a lot of the men were tired and exhausted from the long work day:

^ LMAO.



Ferflabers?! What the heck are those?!

the japanese stereotype of how hard they worked is so old. i dont see how those of us who work in the west at white collar jobs work any less harder.

i dont think the japanese work any harder than the rest of us. its just that they spend a lot of their time doing nonproductive stuff like drinking and kissing up to management.

I wouldn't call kissing up to management non-productive.

umm im not stereotyping. but thats something i noticed in japan. also i guess it seems like they usually get less sleep than americans in my opinion. i dont know how their work day is like. not saying westerners dont work as hard. but i always see exhausted japanese businessmen sleeping in random places sometimes

i didnt say you were stereotyping. i mean in general.

i dont think japanese work any harder at actual work than americans or british or whatever do. i think they just spend more time dealing with office politics. they have a different corporate culture. in the west, there are office politics too but i dont think there is as much of it. there is more of a productive system.

im not knocking japanese. i just get the impression that the places where i have worked, there are slightly higher expectations of me because im asian since white people think all asians (not just japanese) are hard, diligent workers. I'm really not that hardworking but because of the labelling i get, im sort of forced to become that way. Even when i was in high school working as a cashier, i noticed the customers treated me differently from the rest. i was supposed to deliver better service and make less mistakes.

the model minority stereotype that asian americans experience is a problem.

meh, some do some dont, work hard play hard

i like that. i like that better. cause when you work hard but after work, you go drinking and do whatever with your colleagues, it relieves stress and you get to release some frustration.

in the west, people are always clamoring to get home after work. and then the next day is the same $hit. no social interaction. it gets very tiring. but i think it also keeps efficiency higher. but people become more lonely and end up hating work.

i frigging hate work. how is it that some guy can live off of welfare and live in comfort whereas I have to go out into the world and bust my @$$ dealing with all these problems and i live only relatively better than him?

socialism sucks.

sorry off topic. but i hate work

hard work comes big rewards......
back to topic....... some Japanese guys have a I am pissed look on their face....... I wonder what is wrong.

I dont like how it is in parts of SK though, some of the guys just seem to go out and get pissed with workmates after work then stumble home to their wives at whatever time they feel like and their wives dont say jack $hit about it

dont worry about it. its not important

yes...

they re very tired through his work

and japanese guys works very hard
till in midnight

Because Japanese society is too rigid...they should learn how to take it easy

It's apparent that they've been crashing and burning; they're currently experiencing "burn out," if you will.

delete

i wouldnt blame them...they have stressed out lives. Life in Japan is tough

My husband looks rather cute and happy actually

=)

Its rare to see a Japanese guy laugh...

Why isn't ASIANxMONKEY warned for his sig yet? That's gotta be about the biggest sig I've seen here.

Not that rare.
