    Traditional Japan work culture where you’re not allowed to go home until your boss goes home. Boss hates his family and will twiddle his thumbs until 10pm and then say you have to come out for drinks until 2am. If you don’t comply, your life will be made hell, and there will be a zero chance of career growth.

    This type of culture coupled with shit economy has turbo dived Japanes population growth. There’s 10-million “abandoned” homes in Japan, IE old person died alone and you can buy a fully furnished home for $7-50k. Honestly, I’m look at Japan as a place to move and at some point they’re going to advertise to open the doors for immigration or completely revamp their work culture…or go extinct as a country.

        Be aware that foreigners are always treated as second-class citizens in Japan.
