Biggdaddy, when I went to Korea, I was staggered by how lifeless and tired people looked. Then I discovered why. 12 hour days, 6 days a week, 5 days annual leave.

The boss of a Hyundai plant told me he didn't know what to do with his leave, so he went back to work.

No, I have to go to university at 9, she answered.

Talk about Asian work ethic.
