Work Parties in the US:
Time: a few hours
Occurance: once a year
Cost: free
Work Parties in Japan:
Time: at least 3 hours. Overnight stay (without significant others) at an inn for the holiday party.
Occurance: at least 6 times a year.
Cost: $30 a month, plus $30-50 per person per party
Which would you choose? And guess what I "get" to do this Friday?
Ugh.

Hi. I just came across your blog and had to comment on the Japanese work parties. I lived there for 2 years and used to dread them...but then it was always fun watching them get really drunk, act like teenagers and then the next day, act like nothing happened!
Fun times!
Enjoy your time in Japan!
Ugh, I think I'd want to avoid those like the plague. Let the booze comfort you!
