One More Drink Before We Head Home

    Newer Older

    On almost any night (except Mondays since most Izakayas are closed) you will see salarymen fill the streets with their co-workers going out for food and drinks before going home for the night. I think they go because of a social obligation rather than actually wanting to go. It's a big part of office politics here from what I understand.

      Thanks everyone! =)

      Shadows Oliv: Yeah you are right, but I think things are changing. They realized a while back that it's not good to go out and drink so much, so I don't think they do it as much as they use to, but they still go out a lot. I feel bad for their families too. I know that's just how it is here.
