“The humor about the overwork simply wore off, and it just became sad and pitiful.”
Japan has a vibrant culture and a massive entertainment industry, which together provide many opportunities to get out and explore one’s interests and expand one’s mind.

Same old, same old.

- Jenny: Hmmm, let’s see. Maybe she …. I dunno … went shopping?
- Jack: Yes! How’d you guess?
Work. Work. Work. Etc.

Thank God for shopping!![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSYCjnoWmWHRwCkVMVxRTSoCfx1iXmkp7sb2919wxySvK/image.png)
