Rain...
This morning it is pouring. I got drenched when I walked from the station to the classroom this morning. But I am smart, because I always keep an extra dry set of clothes in the room, so now I am dry.
I saw an interesting article in the paper the other day. It was about the average working hours per person a year. The article compared different countries. Everyone always says the Japanese people work so hard, so long, but surprisingly, Japan was ranked 9th, with an average of 1772 hours worked per person a year. Americans, who many Japanese people think go home every day at 6pm and don't work so hard, was ranked 8th, ahead of Japan. Greece was ranked first, and Cheko(maybe the spelling is wrong...) and Hungary were ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively.
I think and know that Japanese people work really hard and long hours. I can not understand how any country can beat Japan, but according to the article I read, 8 countries to beat Japan.
How many hours do you work a week? Do you want to work more, or less? Do you work overtime? If yes, how often? Is it easy or difficult for you to take vacation?
These are some questions, some food for thought. So, think about it.
Below is Hokkaido...I want to go there some day soon...It is a small dream of mine. Do you have any small dreams?
