駅で仮眠 title=

日本でよく見れるのは駅で仮眠している人。なんだか日本の方って良く遅くまで働いていますね。公務員さんは6時ぐらいにあがれるらしいが、その他の企業などは違いますね。一生懸命働いている人はもちろんいますが、そうでもない人も少なくないような。。。以前働いているある起業では、上司は早めに帰らない理由はなんだと聞いたら、"部下はまだ帰っていないから"と答えた。部下に早めに帰らない理由と聞いたら、"上司はまだ帰っていないから"と答えた。。。こんなのでいいのかな。
この英語バージョンの記事に外人さんに3問を聞いた。。。

    Japan working hours are crazy... one of the reasons why I'm kinda scared to go work there.
    My dream is to make something profitable on my own then move to Japan... so I can live on my own schedule.

    Even so, I'm pretty shure I would sleep exactly like that, even if I didn't work late hours.

    I mean, I've been on Japan on a vacation trip, and very oftenly me and the people on my family that went with me were caught sleeping on trains.

    At first, we were kinda surprized. People sleeping everywhere, and in some ways you couldn't believe... we saw people half asleep in a standing position.. I mean, WTF was that?

    But then we suddenly realised. It was cold. Trains have heated seats. You don't have to worry too much about robbery, or problems with other people.

    Also, commuting. Some people take 2 hours on train to get to their work, every day.

    In this situation, the train almost become an extension to your bed or something. You sleep like 4 to 6 hours at home (or even less), and the rest of it while going to work.

    I don't think I would adapt to that.. if I don't sleep 8 hours in my orthopedical mattress, I feel like poop all day long.

    I wanto to visit Japan too, but I think Tokyo is too big so it's difficult to live here, as in any other big city (excepts for London, quite and chaotic at the same time... I feel it everytime I am in England). I want to visit Japanese countryside and small villages, the best in summer to see festivals! :D
