Vladimir According to the Dutch media 147 people have died in Japan last year by working too hard (usually leading to heart attacks). Also about 176 people attempted suicide (some of them succeeding). It appears that since the phenomenon of death by overwork is so well known in Japan, there's even a word for it: karoshi. For the Dutch speaking members, here's the link to the article: http://www.nu.nl/news/1080440/36/Steeds_meer_Japanners_dood_door_overwerk.html

brokenhands Interesting, I saw a documentary on LinkTV about Japanese women who want to divorce their husbands after they retire. Seems the retired salarymen have to go to couples therapy.
brokenhands That is exactly right, very astute. It's just funny to see rigid Japanese men in therapy sessions with their wives. Times have really changed.
