      I haven’t worked in the UK but I can presume it is pretty close to home.

      Similar in a lot of ways in that its still average work days, desks, computers, same as everywhere else. But it is different in a lot of ways due to the culture. Obvious differences would be things like having to take off your shoes in work, showing lots of respect, being able to take naps during the day which is my favourite plus 🙂

      The Japanese have a tendency to have a work hard culture with long hours but it is very relaxed interactions all the time. People are extremely nice and overall I would recommend it.
