All I have to say is one thing: Fox News (American) said there was a nuclear power plant in SHIBUYA (Shibuya Eggman). How in the heck did I miss that for all of these years.

Posted in: China overtakes Japan in 2nd quarter as world's No. 2 economy See in context
It's very easy to build a huge economy when you only pay workers for 50% of the hours they work.
LOL you imply as if Japanese workers are actually doing work during overtime. Unlike western office workers who put in their utmost effort during the first 8 hours of the working day, their Japanese counterparts are lazier.
Yes, standing around the water cooler talking about celebrities and watching a cat play piano on Youtube is utmost effort. It depends on the individual worker, not which hemisphere they are in.
